Average rating:5.0Number of reviews:(212)
Get to know the forces generated by rapid acceleration and how they effect pilots flying high-performance aircraft.
Class experience
US Grade 6 - 9
In this fun, interactive class we will explore the forces generated by acceleration. We will look at our familiar everyday experience with these forces, dive into a scientific explanation of acceleration, and apply this knowledge to aviation. Stunt pilots, race pilots and fighter pilots must have a thorough understanding of these "G-forces"--they can be deadly! We will learn not only how acceleration effects pilots, but how pilots protect themselves from harm when flying "at the edge of the...
What is acceleration? What is inertia? What is centrifugal force? How does high performance flight generate these forces? What is G-LOC? How do pilots train to recognize G-LOC What do pilots and engineers do to combat G-LOC?
I served 20 years and an active duty Air Force pilot, flight instructor, and academic teacher. For the past seven years, I have taught a high school Aviation Science course. I remain an active pilot and aviation enthusiast!
