After an exhausting session with Victoria's Secret Police, John
Carrier blurted out: Structural design starts getting to be a small problem above 9G (which implies 13.5G prior to overload), but 9G is about it from the operator standpoint. You can endure more for a short while, but not while performing actions other than enduring the G. Even the fittest of the Viper drivers don't pull max G for long periods. Down at the centrifuge at Brooks AFB, they had a picture of a gal that had the "honor" of receiving the "elephant award." She held the record for 15 Gs and not going to sleep, 15Gs was computed to be the equivalent of having an elephant stand on your chest. They also showed a video of a viper guy spinning at 9 Gs carrying on a simulated air-to-air dialog...this guy was a squatty body. The day before I got to ride the spin-n-puke, two FWS F-16 IPs both went to sleep during their rides. Too much fun in San Antonio the night prior. Pulling 9 Gs was the least favorite part of the FCF profile for me. Few years back (10 away from the F-16) I was surprised that 3-4 Gs in a T-6G felt "heavy." Juvat |
