Talk:Low-g condition

Untitled
Please explain below why this article contradicts itself - this assertation is not clear--ChrisJMoor 02:23, 8 April 2006 (UTC)

The final section asserts that Low-G flight conditions make fixed-wing aircraft difficult or impossible to control. The subsequent paragraph says that Low-G conditions increase their controllability. --Mgechert 07:04, 12 April 2006 (UTC)

I assume it means it is harder to make the plane do what you want, yet with enough skill you can make the plane do more - i.e. more extreme acrobatics than is possible in normal flight. The use of the word "control" in both sentences is a bit confusing, however. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.178.108.122 (talk • contribs) 2006-04-23T01:16:50

I can't find the place where it says that it is easier to control an aircraft in 0g. Howerver, that is a lie. 0g has no larger effect on modern aircraft, since the aerodynamic flow over the wings are still moving, hence the controlability of the aircraft remains. There was a problem with some aircraft used during WW2 that seemed to stop in mid-air and fall up to severel hundred feet. This was due to the 0g that made the plane tilt forward after the inverted parapolic turn, and since it did this, the airplane was pointing downwards. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 194.17.116.195 (talk • contribs) 2006-05-02T14:33:04

There are a lot of opportunities to improve this page. For instance, an airplane at 0g will not stall at any speed, even zero speed. In fact, as g-factor approaches zero from either direction, stalling speed decreases. See the table of g-factors here: http://www.apstraining.com/article-aerobatics-school-flight-training.htm. Some version of this table is in most pilots training manuals. --Marcwiki9 (talk) 14:12, 1 August 2008 (UTC)
