The Pathophysiology of High Sustained +G sub 2 Limitation to Air Combat Manoeuvering and the Use of Centrifuges in Performance Training

Abstract

High levels of air combat manoeuvering acceleration, achievable for sustained periods in new fighters tax the physical and physiologic limits of the aircrew. Single or intermittent exposures are considered an acceptable risk. No cumulative effects are recognized but research is incomplete on this point. High G centrifuge training is recommended. The tilt-back seat provides optimum physiologic protection.
