highg
HighG, or high-G, is a colloquial term used to describe gravity or acceleration forces that exceed Earth's standard gravity (1 g). In aviation and spaceflight, high-G conditions occur during rapid maneuvering, combat turns, launch and reentry, and in laboratory testing with centrifuges. The magnitude of these accelerations is expressed in g, a unit relative to Earth's gravity.
Physiological effects depend on the direction and duration of the force. Sustained exposure to high g along
Mitigation and equipment include g-suits that apply constrictive pressure to the legs and abdomen, anti-G straining
Training and testing employ centrifuges to simulate high-G conditions, conditioning aircrew, and studying human tolerance. Data
The term highG is informal and context-dependent, used across aviation, spaceflight, and physiology. It is not
