Anti-squat
Definition
Preventing or mitigating pitch-up or front-end lift (the tendency of a vehicle or aircraft to lift its front during acceleration or takeoff); a technical device or structural suspension geometry designed to maintain stability along the longitudinal axis. In automotive and aeronautical engineering, this effect guarantees optimal tire-to-ground contact and prevents loss of aerodynamic control.
