SUMMARY

The discussion centers on the effects of water immersion on G-force tolerance, particularly in extreme conditions such as those experienced in aircraft executing high accelerations. It questions whether being submerged in water would provide greater resistance to G-forces compared to being exposed to them directly. Additionally, the conversation explores current technologies, such as anti-G suits, that are designed to mitigate the effects of G-forces and speculates on future advancements in this area.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of G-force physics and its physiological effects
  • Knowledge of water dynamics and buoyancy principles
  • Familiarity with anti-G suits and their mechanisms
  • Awareness of aerospace engineering concepts related to acceleration
NEXT STEPS
  • Research the physiological effects of G-forces on the human body
  • Explore the design and functionality of modern anti-G suits
  • Investigate advancements in aerospace technology for G-force mitigation
  • Study the principles of buoyancy and fluid dynamics in extreme conditions
USEFUL FOR

Aerospace engineers, physiologists, military personnel, and anyone interested in the effects of G-forces on living organisms and the technologies designed to counteract them.

1) If people or aquatic animals like fishes and whales were to be fully immersed inside a big enough water container, and say this water container is inside an aircraft, and the aircraft executes extremely high accelerations that G forces reach up to near 100, would the animals and people immersed inside the water container be affected the same way as people outside the water and get injured or die in a similar manner or would being in the water give them higher resistance to G force keeping them alive and safer from injuries, Allowing them to withstand higher g forces? When I say 'immersed inside the water', I mean basically below the surface without having anybody part above the water.

2) What technologies are currently being used and are best to counteract G forces? Is it possible that in the future we could have technologies enabling us to withstand greater g forces than today?

Thanks

Have you researched Anti g suits? Wiki has some basic stuff to say about them.
