[Biomechanical interpretation of loss of consciousness (GLOC) by fighter pilots under rapid onset rate (ROR) of +Gz acceleration]. / Interpretation biomecanique des pertes de connaissance en vol des pilotes de chasse sous l'effet de l'application d'une acceleration +Gz d'installation rapide (fort jolt).

ABSTRACT

ROR +Gz acceleration withstood by fighter pilots generates GLOC, which is assumed to be related to cranial hypertension. Results derived from simple mathematical models seem to confirm this hypothesis.
