Question:
When a fighter pilot makes a very quick turn, he experiences a centripetal acceleration. When this acceleration is greater than about 8 × g, the pilot will usually lose consciousness (“black out”). Consider a pilot flying at a speed of 900 m/s (about 2000 mi/h) who wants to make a very sharp turn. What is the minimum radius of curvature he can take without blacking out?
