But then again, most pilots back then blacked out at around 4 G, so anything above 5 G is gonna entail flying in the blind anyway  |
5.33 g's for a spitfire max g-limit? Where does this information come from? For example the F8F Bearcat was
restricted to 7.5 g's after failures of its wingtip ejection system, I highly doubt that a lighter and smaller fighter which saw exponentially more combat than the Bearcat, and with no history of chronic failures would have a limit of 5.33 g's. The g-limit would vary between aircraft, not between countries.
