3elevator illusion — An abrupt upward vertical acceleration, usually by an updraft (as can occur in a helicopter), can shift vision downward (the visual scene moves upward) by excessively stimulating the sensory organs. In gravity and linear acceleration, this can… …
4inversion illusion — An optical illusion that can result in spatial disorientation for the pilot. This is caused by an abrupt change from climb to a straight and level flight, which can excessively stimulate the sensory organs for gravity and linear acceleration, and …
5Supermaneuverability — is quality of aircraft defined as a threshold of attitude control exceeding that which is possible by pure aerodynamic maneuverability. It is a trait of some advanced fourth generation and 4.5 generation fighter aircraft and is generally a… …
