    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Controlled_flight_into_terrain

    Before the installation of the first electronic terrain warning systems, the only defenses against CFIT were conventional see-and-avoid aviation practices, pilot simulator training, crew resource management (CRM) and radar surveillance by air traffic services.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microsoft_Flight_Simulator

    This traffic plays an important role in the simulator, as it is possible to crash into traffic (this can be disabled), thus ending your session, and to interact with the traffic via the radio and ATC. This feature is active even with third-party traffic. Microsoft introduced AI traffic in MSFS 2002 with several airliners and private aircraft.

  4. Microsoft Flight Simulator (2020 video game) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microsoft_Flight_Simulator...

    Microsoft Flight Simulator uses its in-house graphics and physics engine while using Microsoft Azure to provide over two petabytes of world map data taken from the cloud on demand. [22] Microsoft partnered with Blackshark.ai, [ 23 ] who developed a solution that uses Microsoft Azure and AI to analyze map data and photogrammetry to generate ...

  5. Ground effect (aerodynamics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ground_effect_(aerodynamics)

    When a hovering rotor is near the ground the downward flow of air through the rotor is reduced to zero at the ground. This condition is transferred up to the disc through pressure changes in the wake which decreases the inflow to the rotor for a given disc loading, which is rotor thrust for each square foot of its area.

    The crash occurred while the entire cockpit crew was preoccupied with a burnt-out landing gear indicator light. They failed to notice that the autopilot had inadvertently been disconnected, and as a result, the aircraft gradually lost altitude and crashed. This was the first fatal crash of a wide-body aircraft.

  7. Leading-edge slat - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leading-edge_slat

    A slat is an aerodynamic surface on the leading edge of the wing of a fixed-wing aircraft.When retracted, the slat lies flush with the rest of the wing. A slat is deployed by sliding forward, opening a slot between the wing and the slat.

  8. Vortex ring state - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vortex_ring_state

    The signs of VRS are a vibration in the main rotor system [8] followed by an increasing sink rate and possibly a decrease of cyclic authority. [9]In single rotor helicopters, the vortex ring state is traditionally corrected by slightly lowering the collective to regain cyclic authority and using the cyclic control to apply lateral motion, often pitching the nose down to establish forward flight.
