Fighter pilots endure intense forces, including extreme acceleration and rapid altitude changes. As planes accelerate faster, pilots experience increased G forces, which can cause vision issues or loss of consciousness. To prepare, pilots undergo rigorous training in a centrifuge to build tolerance to these forces. This training also helps them handle sudden changes in altitude and direction, reducing nausea and improving readiness for flight.

What is the maximum G force that fighter pilots can experience during flight?

• 12G

• 8G

• 6G

• 10G

What can happen to a pilot's vision when experiencing high G forces?

• It becomes blurry

• It turns black and white

• It becomes sharper

• It improves in low light

What is the purpose of the centrifuge training for fighter pilots?

• To enhance their vision

• To increase their speed

• To build tolerance to G forces

• To improve their reaction time

How do fighter planes' sudden altitude changes affect pilots?

• They have no effect on pilots

• They make pilots feel more energetic

• They improve pilots' focus

• They cause pilots to become nauseous

Why is preparation crucial for fighter pilots?

• To improve aircraft maintenance

• To reduce fuel consumption

• To enhance communication skills

• To handle constant changes in speed and direction
