Aeronautical & Aerospace Engineering : Avionics - Quiz(MCQ)
What is the weight the pilot will feel on his head while executing a 9g maneuver with an HMD helmet of weight 800g?
A)
0.72kg
B)
7.2kg
C)
9kg
D)
70.06kg

Correct Answer :   7.2kg


Explanation : 800grams = 0.8 kg, during a 9g turn the pilot will experience a gravitational force 9 times that of a normal person at Earth surface. The total weight felt by the pilot = 0.8 x 9 = 7.2kg. Typical HMD helmets weigh around 1kg and at 9g the weight felt by the pilot will be 9kg which is just acceptable.
