Lawn dart effect
In
psychology
, the
lawn dart
effect
occurs when
fighter aircraft
pilots
accelerate
horizontally
at more than 1
standard gravity
. The effect occurs when such
extreme
stimulation
to the
vestibular system
leads
to the
perception
that the
aircraft
is
climbing
, prompting
the pilot
to
lower
the aircraft's
pitch attitude
, or
drop
the
nose
.
