The Centrifuge
Uploaded by: JetstreamOnDiscovery
Video Description:
Inside the centrifuge, a fighter pilot trainee is put through his paces, as the centrifuge operator kicks up the machine from 3g to 6g in just seconds.
The human centrifuge test sounds easy -- spend 15 seconds in the centrifuge at 6 gs without passing out -- but many pilots consider it the most brutal part of their fighter training. Simply put, pilots hate the centrifuge. And for good reason. The test is widely considered more challenging than
actual flying, so the risk of failure is very real. Pilots have only three shots at the centrifuge test, and then they're out of the program, regardless of how well they're performing otherwise. For pilots like Mike Lewis, who have spent more than twenty years working toward their goal of flying fig
hter planes, failure means the loss of their life's dream. It sounds like a harsh judgment call, and it is. In a job where passing out, even for a second, can create a life-or-death situation, it's in the pilots' best interest to maintain tough standards.
