Reseña del editor

This book explores the effects of G forces in both hyper-gravity and microgravity, in settings from Formula 1 racing to rocket re-entry. Includes an overview of G-related research, and intervention methods to mitigate the effects of increased and reduced G.

Contraportada

Formula 1 racing drivers, figher pilots, astronauts - G forces are an integral part of their lives

- How do racing drivers sustain high G loads and not pass out?

- What accelerative forces are unleashed when a fighter pilot ejects from a high-performance jet?

- What is it like being launched into space and what are the effects on astronauts living in zero G on board the International Space Station?

- How do aircraft simulate zero G?

Pulling G gives a unique insight into how G forces affect people working inthe high and low G environments. It examines the risks of high and low acceleration and explains the physiology of surviving in these environments. The history of G-related research is described, together with present-day and future development of methods to cope with the effects of increased and reduced G.
