Answer 4

This relates to both pilots in Earth's atmosphere, and outside of Earth's atmosphere. This is because gravity is essentially a force, and when traveling at high speeds the forces acting against you are dramatically higher. This is why you hear G's in some discussions by pilots. They are literally experiencing double, triple, or quadruple that of Earth's gravity.

Answer 5

G force, or 4Gs
