Abstract:
Four hundred and sixty-one V-g records covering 923 flying hours were taken from Vampire aircraft operating in England and Germany during the period March to October, 1951. V-g boundaries expected to be exceeded once in 30, 100 and 300 hours are estimated, special consideration being given to aircraft engaged on ground-attack duties. The results confirm the general belief that more severe accelerations and higher speeds may be expected when aircraft are on ground attack duties than when they are on other duties.
