9 hrs confidence:
caída en espiral (ver explicación) Explanation: La analogia viene del término que se usa en aviación, para referirse a una caida en espiral In the parlance of flight instructors and flight researchers, the term "graveyard spiral" refers to any high-speed spiral dive, as distinguished from a "graveyard spin" in which the airplane is actually stalled at a low airspeed. A pilot can enter a graveyard spiral in many different ways, including the scenario described by Gillingham and Wolfe (Spatial Orientation in Flight, USAFSAM TR-85-31, Dec 1986), but most often the entry is subtle rather than violent. The violence typically follows a gentle, unnoticed entry into a banked attitude below the pilot's threshold for angular acceleration, which calls for a brief account of how the inner ear works. |
