 Re: Aircraft Seating and G-Forces??
Just to add to what I said above, If you drew out a profile of the position of people in the front vs the people in the back you'd see two curves. The people in the front would have a much larger radius of rotation (if that makes sense) b/c they'd get off the ground first, if only slightly. Whereas the people in the back would travel straighter longer and then change direction in a shorter period of time giving it a shorter radius of rotation (if that makes sense). A slower change in direction would yield less G force than the faster change which takes place at the back. It would be like pushing someone up who was already jumping vs. someone who was standing still or falling. (if that makes sense) |
