How fighter pilots survive 9 G

En este videoVIPER jersey$46.99

In a hard turn at 9 G, a fighter pilot’s blood weighs nine times more than normal, and it drains from the brain toward the legs. First the world turns gray, then it shrinks to a tunnel, then comes G-LOC: a blackout. Pilots fight back three ways. A G-suit’s air bladders squeeze the legs and stomach. A straining maneuver clenches the legs and core, with a quick breath every few seconds. And the F-16 was built to pull 9 G, with a seat that leans back 30 degrees so the heart doesn’t have to push blood as high. Before they fly it, pilots train in a centrifuge until they can hold 9 G. Could you handle 9 G? Tell us in the comments. The Viper jersey is in the Mach 9 shop: mach9.company/shop #f16 #viper #fighterpilot #aviation
