Actually, teooo is right. After being selected to fly certain fighters, your G-tolerance is tested at the Holloman AFB centrifuge. One of the profiles includes a test of 9.0g for 15 seconds.

By saying that 9G is your weight nine times...matematicaly youre sayng 9G=9x50pounds for example, thats obviously not right did you get my point?

That's exactly correct. The statement is that weight=(mass)(acceleration acting on you)=m(g+a). where g is the acceleration due to gravity, and a is the centripetal acceleration due to the turn. You literally WEIGH 9 times as much as you do at rest.

BlastedNation you're a tard.

forget that, 9G's is just 9 times the gravity acceleration, 9,8m/s. It has nothing to do with the weight, they say so so everybody can understand what G-force is.

Really,
weight is Mass x Acceleration, it is a measurement of the gravitational force acting on an object.
Near the surface of the Earth, the acceleration due to gravity is approximately constant; this means that an object's weight is roughly proportional to its mass.
The value given is what they would weigh at a nominal standard gravitational acceleration of 9.80665 m/s2.
So if you pull 9G's your weight IS 9 times greater.

That is not my point, my point is that is not correct to say "8G is 8times body weight", of course it can be understood in that way but isnt the "right" definition of G.
thefullmonte03 (November 9, 2008 at 8:25 pm)
the added acceleration is not GRAVITY pulling any harder on you. Anytime you turn, you have a centripetal acceleration directed towards the center of the circle (your turn). It is not that g is 9 times is origrinal value, it is that (acceleration due to gravity (g)) + (centripetal acceleration due to the turn (8g)) = 9g.
Since weight=m*a(total), then w=m*9g, and weight is 9 times its original value

check out mike goulian, also an incredible pilot. His airshows are amazing.

No problem deutsche bag.
