In psychology, intellectualization is a defense mechanism where reasoning is used to block confrontation with an unconscious conflict and its associated emotional stress â where thinking is used to avoid feeling. It involves removing one's self, emotionally, from a stressful event.
Usually, due to the finesse necessary to keep one aircraft flying in a precise place relative to another, flying in tight formation uses more fuel than flying a mile or two apart. Military aircraft do not fly in formation for reasons of fuel, often they fly in formation to mutually support one another. With exceptions, every man flying has a wingman, and each of them is responsible for protecting one another and helping each other wherever they go.
Instead, scientists have suggested that flying in vee formation is a way of maintaining visual contact and avoiding collisions. Further study is clearly required before the reason for flying in vees becomes clear. SEE: Skimming: Why Birds Fly Low Over Water.ne theory has been that all but the lead bird are able to gain lift from the wing-tip vortices produced by the bird in front of them. Those vortices are formed by air rushing up over the tip from the high-pressure area under the wing into the low-pressure area above the wing.
