Matt said: Naw.. Orma's math was correct.. I think you were thinking of 1.5g's. 1.5 x 200 = 300... 0.5 x 200 = 100... or do I need to take math 101 again. But screw the landing... What about the in-flight forces :-) Drop the skid plate and grab a parachute! Not really the way I would want to egress.. Matt
No, the math is wrong. The airplane is already at 1g. To make a 1/2 g landing would be to not land by 1/2. Yes, you read that correctly, a 1/2g landing would not be a bounce, it would be a non-bounce, a non-landing, a non-event. The g meter says 1 at straight and level and anyway, the pilots weight is already on the seat, any hard landing only adds more weight. Kevin
