Comment on Auto-GCAS Saves Unconscious F-16 Pilotparent

Comments

No, this system only countermands order to fly into ground, not other high G manoeuvres. The 9 G would probably end up snapping wings or in an uncontrolled roll.

F-16s are G-limited to 9G. You can happily pull 9G day in, day out. The actual G loading the plane is certified for would be much, much higher than this (probably at least double).
