Summary
| Description |
English: Footage from the head-up-display of a U.S. Air Force Arizona Air National Guard F-16 records a save by the aircraft’s Automatic Ground Collision Avoidance System (Auto-GCAS) during a training mission, the fourth confirmed by the NASA-designed system. From an altitude of just over 17,000 ft, the pilot executes 8.3g maneuver which causes the pilot to lose consciousness. After the aircraft enters a steepening dive in full afterburner for twenty seconds, Auto-GCAS intervenes with a recovery maneuver at 8,760 ft. 652 kt and nose-down almost 55 deg. below the horizon. |
