Eli5, how fighter jet pilots do not crash when they become unconscious due to high g force?
In: Other
Two ways:
– The flight suits they wear are specifically designed to help them combat g-force. They push on the extremities so it is tougher for blood to get there, keeping it near the core so the brain continues to get enough oxygen.
– There is an anti-g technique they use, where they contract certain muscles to help push blood toward the brain.
A combination of these two techniques allows them to consistently withstand up to 9 gs.
