![]() ![]() READ MORE: Two fighter pilots passed out over Nevada last year. Luckily, software enhancements is now able to save lives when the human body is pushed beyond its limits.īesides, if recent advancements in artificial intelligence are anything to go by, humans will no longer need to sit in the pilot's seat in the near-to-medium term future. According to this article, a world cup GS skier will make turns of about 25m radius at about 20. It's a stark reminder of the inherent - and obvious - risks of flying a fighter jet. Therefore the centripetal force measured in g is given by v/rg. Last year, only two out of eight G-LOC events ended in the system taking over, according to PopSci. Not all G-LOC events cause the AGCAS system to kick in. In simple terms, the system knows if the jet is going to crash into the ground and rectifies the flight path to avoid catastrophe. The system takes the speed, altitude, and flight paths of the aircraft into account before taking over flight control. ATAGS is a proven design and a critical life support item that protects aircrew members from the effects of high-G forces during maneuvers in fighter aircraft. "In both incidents, the pilots were able to regain consciousness during the AGCAS pull-up and they assisted in the recovery of the aircraft however, their actions alone would not have been in time to prevent collision with the ground." "AGCAS is credited with saving the pilots’ lives," Air Force Safety Center assured PopSci. Luckily, the Automatic Ground Collision Avoidance System (AGCAS) took over when both pilots lost consciousness when their jets were flying at just 2,600 and 4,000 feet above ground level, respectively. The pilots lost their consciousness after experiencing high Gs, an occurrence otherwise known as G-LOC (G-force induced loss of consciousness), while operating in the area surrounding the Nevada Test and Training Range - a striking illustration of the growing power of autopilot technology. Both would have faced certain death if it wasn't for sophisticated software that took over control, Popular Science reports. rider that he ended up teaching anti-G techniques to Navy fighter pilots. ![]() On two separate occasions last year, Air Force F-16 fighter jet pilots flying over Nevada lost their consciousness. Researchers reveled in the opportunity to study G forces under controlled. This control system saved two lives last year when pilots lost their consciousness. ![]()
