Examples
-
The orientation of the cockpit can be rotated so that the force is pointing from your head to your toes (the so-called Gz direction) or from your front to your back (the Gx direction) - or both.
-
Effects from 2 to 12 Hz. Tolerance in this frequency range is usually limited by substernal or subcostal chest pain, with thresholds at approximately 1 to 2 Gz and 2 to 3 Gx. The etiology of the pain is the same for both axes of vibration: displacement of the abdominal and thoracic viscera induces stretching of the chest wall, with torsion at the costochondral junctions of the ribs.

Proxy-reconstructed patterns are thus obtained during the pre-calibration interval by the year-by-year solution of the overdetermined matrix equation, Gz = y [j,], where y[j,] is the predictor vector of values of each of the P proxy indicators during year j.

And Gz Blues, the song apparently featuring the vocal talents of Steven Seagal, is an instrumental.

Proxy-reconstructed patterns are thus obtained during the pre-calibration interval by the year-by-year solution of the overdetermined matrix equation, Gz=y_(j), where y_(j) is the predictor vector of values of each of the P proxy indicators during year j.

Gs we felt to 3.5 Gs in the Gz direction, and 6 Gs in the Gx direction.
-
When I got up to 6 Gs in the Gz direction (head to toes), it felt like an elephant was sitting on top of me.
-
Within seconds of packing on the Gz force, I experienced the beginnings of this effect.
-
This ride would subject me to 3.5 Gs in both the Gx and Gz directions during launch, then a period of simulated "weightlessness" (while it's really still 1 G because we're on the ground, in comparison it almost feels like microgravity), and then up to 6 Gx and 1.5 Gz during reentry.
