G Load

Not sure how you simulate short term g-load peaks that you would see in the Ares I - is the drop tower at Glen big enough for a seat with shock absorbers??? ❋ Unknown (2009)

The rentry g-load for a Soyuz is gonna be 8 to 9 gees (versus the peak 1.5 g load during a Shuttle landing -- Story Musgrave stood UP during the entire rentry of his last Shuttle mission). ❋ Unknown (2003)

O'BRIEN: But the interesting thing is, as you -- as I understand it, as you get further along here, your highest g-load is actually toward the end of the ascent, which lasts about 8 1/2 minutes. ❋ Unknown (2001)

"These set out what a seat must comply with, such as being able to restrain a passenger during take-off, landing and turbulence, the flammability of the fabric, and g-load bearing in case of a crash," says a Civil Aviation Authority spokesman. ❋ Unknown (2010)

"They test g-load bearing to make sure the seats won't topple over or come loose in an accident." ❋ Unknown (2010)

It has clean, beautiful, smooth and fast graphics displaying spatial motion of speed, altitude, vertical speed, heading, g-load, attitude graphically similar to a professional EFIS (electronic flight information system). ❋ Unknown (2010)

Regardless, all seats in the GT-R are in a nicely covered leather and suede material to keep things in place during high g-load curves which we negotiated as we became more familiar with the GT-R's handling and chassis dynamics. ❋ Unknown (2008)

For this launch of the 2010 Mercedes-Benz E-Class, we were presented with the opportunity to drive a 2010 Mercedes-Benz E550, which like every other 2010 Mercedes-Benz E550 provided for this event had been loaded to the rooftops with cameras (three of them) and radar systems (one long-range and two short-range) and infrared this and swiveling that and human-form recognition software and a vibrating steering wheel and seats that bulged in concert to the car's g-load and also mechanical eyelids.
