What does REDOUT mean in Scrabble?
noun
technicalmedical
A reddening of a person's vision caused by blood rushing to the head under strong negative gravitational force, most often affecting fighter pilots and astronauts.
Redout happens during maneuvers that push blood toward the head rather than away from it, the opposite condition to the better-known blackout, where blood drains from the head and vision fades. Pilots experience redout chiefly during outside loops or other negative-g maneuvers, when the increased blood pressure in the eyes tints their vision red and can impair sight. Flight surgeons study redout alongside blackout to understand the physical limits pilots and astronauts can safely endure during high-performance flight.
