Sign in to savethumb|Michael Collins (astronaut)|Michael Collins during centrifuge training Hypergravity is defined as the condition where the force of gravity (real or perceived) exceeds that on the surface of the Earth. This is expressed as being greater than 1 g. Hypergravity conditions are created on Earth for research on human physiology in aerial combat and space flight, as well as testing of materials and equipment for space missions. Manufacturing of titanium aluminide turbine blades in 20 g is being explored by researchers at the European Space Agency (ESA) via an 8-meter wide Large Diamet

A normalhuman can tolerate about 5g's, whereas trained aircraft pilots are trained to withstand upto 15g's. t
