Even when they need to turn down, they roll the plane and pull back on the stick? Will negative Gs hurt the pilot?
In: 3
Short answer, yes.
Negative Gs are blood rushing to your head. Imagine just hanging upside down– then imagine that force like 4+ times greater in a high-speed turn. Positive Gs are much more bearable for anyone, and add that a G-suit is optimized for handling positive Gs, it lets a highly-trained pilot pull about 9 safely.
