G-LOC incidents have caused fatal crashes in high-performance aircraft capable of sustaining high g for extended periods.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>High-G training for airline or spacecraft pilots often includes ground training for G-LOC in special centrifuges, with some profiles exposing pilots to 9 G for an extended period of time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, only a few fighter pilots have experienced G-LOC incidents. But what happens when a fighter pilot overloads his airframe?
