A load factor of one, or 1 g, represents conditions in straight and level flight, where the lift is equal to the weight. Load factors greater or less than one (or even negative) are the result of maneuvers or wind gusts.

One g is the force per unit mass due to gravity at the Earth's surface and is the standard gravity (symbol: gn), defined as 9.806 65 metres per second squared, [5] or equivalently 9.806 65 newtons of force per kilogram of mass. The unit definition does not vary with location—the g-force when standing on the Moon is almost exactly 1⁄6 that on Earth.

2018年10月18日 · By common terminology, when we speak of an "X G manuever" (say X=1 so a "1 G maneuver"), we mean that 1 G is the up-and-down acceleration indicated on the G-meter on the panel, and it also is the up-and-down acceleration (force per unit mass) acting to create stresses or strains on the aircraft's structure (and the pilot's body.)

2008年6月7日 · The G-meter indicates acceleration through the vertical axis, not the absolute G-force that the aircraft is experiencing. Otherwise it would not have a negative indication at all. Consider a mechanical g-meter, which has a weight suspended between two calibrated springs, oriented vertically.

A load factor of 1 G means the force acting on the aircraft is equal to its static weight, while 2 Gs means the force is twice its weight, and so on. When an aircraft undergoes maneuvers like a pull-up or a push-over, the load factor changes due to the change in the aircraft’s flight path and the aerodynamic forces acting upon it.

2021年7月11日 · If you fly the Airbus A320, it’s important to understand that stick-free, the flight control computers will maintain flight at 1G, relative to the earth, and automatically correct for speed, thrust and atmospheric disturbances.

Looking at the graph in Figure 5, the normal position for flight is the 1-g line, not the 0-g line. Remember, you don't operate at zero g's; if you did, you'd float away because you'd be weightless. Keep the 1-g reference point in mind.

2023年11月9日 · Let‘s review some of the key facts on g-forces: 1 g represents the acceleration from Earth‘s gravity, 9.8 m/s2. We experience g-forces daily, but higher levels cause issues like vision loss. Fighter jets and other high-performance vehicles routinely pull g‘s up to …

Acceleration is described in units of the force called “Gs.” A pilot in a steep turn may experience forces of acceleration equivalent to many times the force of gravity. This is especially true in military fighter jets and high-performance, aerobatic aircraft where the acceleration forces may be as high as 9 Gs.

2018年5月20日 · It depends on your climb or descent rate during the bank. It can't be 0.5 g, when it's already 1 g in straight flight. It also depends whether you're upright or inverted - and also the altitude (what's the G-force in a 45º bank in an SR-71 at 85,000ft?)
