Lawn darts effect
The Lawn Dart effect ( English lawn dart effect ) refers to a phenomenon that when flying fighter jets is to occur. With a horizontal acceleration of more than 1 acceleration due to gravity , the vestibular system should be stimulated so extremely that flyers experience the wrong perception that the aircraft is climbing. Doing so will mistakenly cause them to lower the aircraft's nose or lower the altitude, which can lead to a crash.
designation
The effect is named in the English original after the children's game lawn darts , a version of the dart game in which large darts are thrown onto a horizontal target field. The naming refers to the similarity between the trajectory of the darts and the fighter plane that hits the ground.
