LMAO @ the part with the guy saying "Im losing it!" and then the instructor tells him hes only experiencing 2 G's
"iam up my head is up" LOL
AETC= air education and training command
I used to be in Civil Air Patrol...the limit of my experiences with the Air Farce
Must have looked like one of the guys when my big brother took me the first time with him in a plane... at least I didn't vomit.
That indian guy was hella funny!
"Are you ok?"
"no!"
lol 2 g's and he had had enough lol!
That's gutsy as
Has anyone done this kind of centrifugue work? What's it like? It *looks* like a thrill ride
I'd lose my lunch for sure, I get sick just spinning on a chair but even I could take 2 G's. Don't you get more than that on rollercoasters?
I'd imagine you'd get used to it though if you were a pilot.
G-lock is the source of most of accidents in military aviation, people lose their lifes because of that.
When in a tight turn, the blood goes from your brain into your legs.
LuftWaffe pilots (especially Stuka pilots) noticed that short people have better tolerance to G force, so women and short men are the best jet crews cus they can handle the Gs much better than taler people.
Why ? you ask, simple, cus the way for the blood from the legs to the brain is shorter. Simple isn't it
The blackout, it's when you loose consciousness, is called "G-lock".
The symptoms of G-lock:
-you start loosing focus
-your field of vision will become smaller and smaller (like looking through a soda straw)
-you will loose the ability to see colours
-everything goes black and you loose consciousness
F-16 + lost consciousness = CRASH !
and CRASH is a big NO NO .....
so yeach, it looks fun and hilarious, but in the air flying at MACH 1....it's death !
why F-16 in particular?Originally Posted by Ravage
and crash is indeed a big nono
could you lose your job because of that? if not on purpose ofc
It is estimated that 70% of fatalities of jet pilots in because of G-lock.
If you want to be a F-16 pilot, you HAVE TO handle 9 Gs !
It means every part of your body is 9 times heavier.
As a civilian is there any place where you can try that? (questions questions questions...)
It is estimated that 1,7% of fatalities of jet pilots is because of erection.
That was a good video, That last girl did damn good. I remember a friend telling me that the taller you are the easier it is to get G-LOCK something about the blood having to travel farther.
