Why fighter pilots care about g-forces | G-LOC EXPLAINED 

G force is just acceleration. So tell me, in free fall you are accelerating to the ground right, but that's also called zero g. And he said sitting in his chair at rest was 1 g...So are you confused?

@@davidmudry5622 Incorrect. In free fall you are also accelerating with 1 g, which is why you fall to the ground. The reason you eventually reach terminal velocity where you don't fall any faster is due to the force of air pushing in the opposite direction. You can only achieve zero g if you are in space, far from any planet. Even astronauts orbiting the earth aren't truly at zero g, they just keep falling and "missing" the earth due to the velocity they travel at, but relative to the spacecraft they experience "zero g", because it's falling around the earth with them at the same rate. Still confused? :-)

Thank you. More to come!

Sweet! Go for it! Thanks for following along my journey.

Thank you Matthew. Appreciate the support. Just getting started. Tell your friends!

Thanks man. Good ideas for another episode. 👍🏼

😂

Awesome! 🇮🇩

Trust me if they found something they’d produce it might just be that one thing you can’t really find something to prevent it that’s just gravity and the way it works

And he mentions something that helps with it the G suit

Not possible unless the engineer is some type of magician! G-forces (acceleration) is due to, and proportional to the mass of the planet you are on. So 1 G on the moon is about 1/6 th that of the earth, for example, which is why the astronauts were able to bounce around while wearing very heavy suits. Now keep in mind these are G's caused by "the acceleration due to gravity", and they stay constant for a given planet/body. The G's experienced in an airplane are due to the aircraft changing direction (accelerating). Until your body reaches the same velocity, you will feel heavy due to inertia (resitance to moving). In a turn, the acceleration continues until the turn is dis-continued, because turning is, of course, continually changing direction until you've reached the desired bearing. Thus your body won't catch up until the turn is dis-continued. What determines the amount of G's in a turn is the turn rate, for example measured in degrees per second. Thus you can keep a constant g-load during a turn, as long as you pull with constant force on the stick, and have the energy to sustain the acceleration. An F-16 like this guy flew can sustain 9 G turns. Therefore, you can't eliminate G's with fancy engineering, just mitigate the effects a little bit, like the G-suit does. A pressurized cockpit, like on airliners for example, has nothing to do with G-forces. They simply keep the air dense enough for humans to get enough oxygen to function, as we were designed to live at ground level where the air is denser than at 30000 ft.
