What's the highest g-force a human can take?
What's the highest g-force a human can take? Most of us can withstand up to 4-6G. Fighter pilots can manage up to about 9G for a second or two. But sustained G-forces of even 6G would be fatal.
How fast is 10g top gun?
Multiplying Mach 10.2 by the speed of sound (at sea level) means Maverick was traveling roughly 7,826 mph.
Is 1 g of force a lot?
A G-force of 1g is equal to the conventional value of gravitational acceleration on Earth which amounts to 9.8 m/s2 (meter per second squared). In other words, it is the force a person (driver, in our case) can experience when they're accelerating or braking.
Is Mach 10 7000 mph?
The final flight of the small X-43A research aircraft is targeted to sustain a speed of up to Mach 10, or 10 times the speed of sound (about 7,000 mph), powered by a revolutionary airframe-integrated supersonic-combustion ramjet or 'scramjet' engine.
Can a pilot pull 10 gs?
While commercial flights exert only very minimal positive and negative G-forces on passengers, several orders of magnitude greater are the G-forces experienced by astronauts, fighter pilots and stunt pilots. These types of pilots can experience brief periods of extreme forces of nine and 10 Gs.
