Fighter Pilot Science Beats Blackouts

The video discusses the challenges faced by Allied pilots during power dives, including the risk of blacking out. In Toronto, secret experiments over five years have led to the development of a centrifuge machine that simulates the effects of a power dive on the human body. This machine helps in understanding and mitigating the risks by recording speed, gravitational pull, and their effects. The video also shows a pilot testing the centrifuge, highlighting the importance of new protective flying suits in preventing loss of consciousness.
