    can you explain the logic of +G and -Gs? As I understand the +G is the downward force you feel when you are climbing at a high rate, and vice-versa, the -G (negative G) is when you are descending faster, correct?

      No. G forces are related to acceleration not to vertical speed.
      Going upward in an elevator in a tall building you will feel heavier as the elevator accelerates. At steady upward speed you feel normal, and lighter as it decelerates near the required floor.

    I would say it is relative to the position of the scale, if the scale stays right side up it would be 1G but if the scale turns upside down with the aeroplane then it would be -1G, that is if the 1kg weight was attached to the scale.

    Is it -1G because the negative sign serves as a direction for the lift vector as vectors consist of both magnitude and direction? Thus if it is rotated the lift vector is the same except for the negative sign showing its direction.

    The attitude of the plane or its angle of attack will determine its inverted level flying, due to the shape of the wing airfoil. The G force would be the same as straight and level.

    At 3:29, a free body diagram of the airplane is showing an equal and opposite force to the horizontal component of lift known as the "centrifugal force". This force DOES NOT EXIST. Centrifugal force is an illusion brought on by the inertia of your body wanting to travel in the path prior to the airplane turning. It is an easy way to combine centripetal force and inertia, rather than teaching pilots what is actually happening when in a turn. Furthermore, if the centrifugal force was equal and opposite to the horizontal component of lift as shown in the video, the airplane would not turn.

  • @joshuahunter2825
    @joshuahunter2825 2 роки тому

    An inverted plane would have some lift capability, there is an edge. The angle of attack would be different inverted, Idk how to calculated it. but if the particular airplane is not made to be fly upside down then I would not be safe. More thrust would give the airplane more potential to stay at level flight.

    • @LearnWithFardin
      @LearnWithFardin Рік тому

      Well, first of all the weight we feel isn’t the weight we work with in practice.
      The weight [certainly] is the force of gravity exerted on us. But how do we feel this weight? It is by the reaction force that the ground/chair/bed exerts on us. And from the requirements of static equilibrium, there will still be zero net force when you are sitting on a chair [as the chair exerts you back the same amount of force by which the earth pulls you, it cancels and the net effect remains zero] but you will surely feel your weight [I.e. you won't feel weightless]. This is because [as I said earlier] how we perceive our weight. We perceive [it] by the reaction force that is exerted on us.
      So when you are on a level flight in an airplane, all the forces acting on you as well as on the airplane are zero but [still] you feel the compression or the pressure of yourself [ I.e. your weight] as how you feel when sitting on a chair on the ground.
      This whole idea becomes clear if one understands the frame of reference [i.e. inertial & non-inertial].

    • @EmmanuelJolibois
      @EmmanuelJolibois 10 місяців тому

      Thank you ! The physics isn't properly phrased. To avoid any confusion, it should be better not to use the notion of centrifugal force. The weight in the plane is accelerating toward the center of a cercle, therefore the resulting force is directed toward the center too. The forces the weight is experiencing are its weight (oriented downward) and the reaction of its support in the plane, oriented perpendicular to the plane. As the gravity acts the same way on any mass, what you feel (at your bottom, when you are sitting on a chair, for example) is only this reaction of the support on which you are sitting.
      The load factor is a measure of this reaction in units of the gravitational force.
