Buffeting

Japanese: バフェッティング(英語表記)buffeting
Buffeting
Buffeting is a phenomenon in which the airflow around an airplane separates from the surface of the aircraft, creating vortices that strike and vibrate the aircraft. Buffeting makes passenger planes uncomfortable to ride on, and in military aircraft it makes it difficult to aim. If an airplane slows down too much or makes unnatural movements, the airflow can separate over parts of the wing, causing buffeting, before it enters a full stall. However, this phenomenon is useful for predicting danger, and is actively used in stall warnings and other situations.

Japanese:
飛行機の周囲の気流が,機体表面からはがれて渦をつくり,それが機体をたたいて振動させる現象。バフェッティングが生ずると,旅客機なら乗りごこちが悪くなるし,軍用機では射爆撃の照準がむずかしくなる。飛行機がスピードを下げ過ぎたり,無理な運動をした場合,全面的な失速状態になる前に,翼面の一部ではすでに気流がはがれてバフェッティングを生ずるが,逆にこの現象は危険予知に役だつので失速警報などに積極的に利用されている。
