Germen or Swiss

[edit]

Though the company is partly swiss owned, the suit was developed in Germany. The recent edit does not agree with http://www.autofluglibelle.com/html/history.html Kowloonese 09:33, 31 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Well the english Wikipedia is well known for being highly anti german and tries to underestimate or deny each german development or innovation! It's hard to understand but true! --89.50.28.119 (talk) 15:53, 17 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Anything to do with the German use of prisoners? In particular people with no other crime than being designated as being of Jewish origin? פשוט pashute ♫ (talk) 23:49, 19 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Read in Hubertus Strughold and the sources there how "He played an important role in developing the pressure suit worn by early American astronauts." See also the section under Nazi human experimentation about High altitude experiments. I clearly remember, after experiencing a high G force in air flight, reading about Jewish prisoners experimented on in large centrifuges. I wonder if anybody can find good sources about this, (at least allegations) and add it to the main article. פשוט pashute ♫ (talk) 00:03, 20 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

COMPRESSED AIR OR FLUID??

[edit]

Wasnt the RCAF suit liquid filled as well? CLOWNDEACAN

Ex nihil 08:49, 20 June 2006 (UTC) Yes it was, and the first RAF suit in WW2 was water filled. The comment on compressed air needs to be corrected. I am not aware of a compressed air suit and I cannot imagine how it would work. Are we confused here with space suits?[reply]

Ex nihil 09:28, 20 June 2006 (UTC) I have made some fairly drastic surgery on this as much of it was just not right. I still have doubts about the space suit bit at the bottom but have not had time to research this one. Perhaps you would like to?? Do astronauts wear g-suits, my understanding was they didn't, just vacuum suits and they got around the g-force by reclining the seats. Maybe they did later on.[reply]

Are Blackout and G-LOC the same?

[edit]

There is some ambiguity regarding blackout and g-LOC being the same. In the introduction, blackout and G-LOC are mentioned seprately; implying that they are not nessarily the same. But the last paragraph of the 'Design' section reffers to them as the same thing. Please clarify. Sun1011101 (talk) 17:37, 1 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

 Done someone fixed it? --Kubanczyk (talk) 16:44, 2 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
That is because they are NOT the same. Blackouts are a straightforward response directly proportional to the level of g, but g-LOC is a loss of consciousness associated with repeated applications of high rate of change g events. The physiological effects are also markedly different.Petebutt (talk) 00:10, 7 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

the libelle or dragonfly g-suit

[edit]

I think we should include the libelle or dragonfly water based G suit in the wiki article. AFAIK its almost the same as the red bull g suit and it has the potential to outperform the stadard USAF compressed air G suit.

Units and plurals

[edit]

The force of gravity on the earths surface is measured with a relative unit called g. G is the Gravitational Constant, an entirely different animal used in Astronomy and Astro-Physics.

The plural of g is g - NO S!!!Petebutt (talk) 00:10, 7 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Renamed

[edit]

Why was this article renamed from G-suit to "g"-suit without any prior discussion here? A lower-case g with quotes around it looks awfull! /130.237.216.122 (talk) 14:44, 7 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

That is because Wikipedia automatically captalises the title, which in this case would be incorrect. There is a way of doing it without the quotes, but I don't know the exact method, maybe an administrator can help.Petebutt (talk) 11:07, 22 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
I've moved it back and did the instructions at: Wikipedia:Naming_conventions_(technical_restrictions)#Lower_case_first_letter GliderMaven (talk) 17:01, 22 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Much better, thank you. /83.227.130.26 (talk) 07:39, 23 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
