It is very stressfull for your body to pull that many g's. <br />The bloodvessels in your arms and legs burst and leaves blue marks on some people. Your heart literally drops a couple of inchhes from it's normal position while you are pulling g's- <br /> <br />run <br />[Is it really painfull when you pull g's? and the other thing is that when your in for training, i heard that you sit in some kind of thing that spins you like hell and makes you really dizzy, is this true?? <br />]http://aircraftbargains.com/cs/forums/thread/1224.aspxTue, 17 Oct 2000 02:34:00 GMTa23efcf1-9e75-4ff9-be18-cd9cb68b9485:1224Anonymous0http://aircraftbargains.com/cs/forums/thread/1224.aspxhttp://aircraftbargains.com/cs/forums/commentrss.aspx?SectionID=15&PostID=1224*** Posted by Sid Nomani *** <br />Is it really painfull when you pull g's? and the other thing is that when your in for training, i heard that you sit in some kind of thing that spins you like hell and makes you really dizzy, is this true?? <br />http://aircraftbargains.com/cs/forums/thread/1074.aspxSun, 23 Apr 2000 01:19:00 GMTa23efcf1-9e75-4ff9-be18-cd9cb68b9485:1074Anonymous0http://aircraftbargains.com/cs/forums/thread/1074.aspxhttp://aircraftbargains.com/cs/forums/commentrss.aspx?SectionID=15&PostID=1074*** Posted by John *** <br />Hi Deanna <br /> <br />In modern fighters like the F-15 or the F-16 you are exposed to up to 9 g's. This happens fx. when you want to make a sharp turn in a dogfight or during aerobatics. If you were sitting on a scale while pulling 9 g's, it would show 9 times what you weigh. This also means that everything inside your body weighs 9 times as much. This is especially a problem with the blood in your head since it wants to flow downwards. You can resist this by tightening your muscles and by wearing a g-suit that squeezes your legs, stomach and in some cases chest and arms to prevent the blood to flow there. If you don't you will first loose your vision &amp; then you will pass out due to lack of blood (oxygen) in your brain. <br /> <br />John <br />[I've obviously never flown in a fighter or any other aircraft. I just had some basic questions about the g force and what it does to you. I read an article about these new suits that are being developed and I basically wanted to know what the effect of being in an F-15 or the such would have on your body. ]http://aircraftbargains.com/cs/forums/thread/1073.aspxSat, 22 Apr 2000 06:00:00 GMTa23efcf1-9e75-4ff9-be18-cd9cb68b9485:1073Anonymous0http://aircraftbargains.com/cs/forums/thread/1073.aspxhttp://aircraftbargains.com/cs/forums/commentrss.aspx?SectionID=15&PostID=1073*** Posted by deanna *** <br />I've obviously never flown in a fighter or any other aircraft.
