An anti-g seat for pilots?


'TOLERATING HIGH G: AN ESSAY' By Edward E. Rochon talks about an aircraft seat, where the pilot sits inside a globe. When he feels g-force, he can use a machine to fight its effects. Which will change the orientation of pilot with respect to the direction of g-force. Thus, if blood is draining from his head, he can reverse position, which will cause blood to come back into his head quickly, counteracting this dangerous effect. In addition, the roll of his seat against the g-force will mitigate the effect of a rapid acceleration or deceleration. He will be able to go forward, backward, up, down and sideways to achieve this. He must do this in a way that prevents him from becoming uneasy. So there are two extremes, the effects of the g-force and the effects of the counteracting motion of the seat mechanism. Both can disorient. If the pilot gets it right, he should be able to keep a fairly stable blood flow through his body without becoming too dizzy to effectively fly his plane or ship. In this way he should be able to withstand much greater g-forces and for longer periods of time than otherwise, making him immune to g.
