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.
An aircraft is free to rotate around three axes that are perpendicular to each other and intersect at its center of gravity (CG). To control position and direction a pilot must be able to control rotation about each of them. Lateral axis. The lateral axis, also known as transverse axis, passes through an aircraft from wingtip to wingtip. Rotation about this axis is called pitch. Pitch changes the vertical direction that the aircraft's nose is pointing. The elevators are the primary control surfaces for pitch. Longitudinal axis. The longitudinal axis passes through the aircraft from nose to tail.
