Vancouver Off-Topic / Current EventsThe off-topic forum for Vancouver, funnies, non-auto centered discussions, WORK SAFE. While the rules are more relaxed here, there are still rules. Please refer to sticky thread in this forum.
it's not much different from f1 actually (in terms of getting into it) .. you need money to get started, experience and talent to become 'good at it' and then more money (read: millions) to get competitive on the top levels. Not to mention to have to be suuuuuper fit.
I done a bit of proper aerobatics in different airplanes over the years but nothing comes close to these guys. Even our fighter pilots do not get as much experience pulling that kind of G, because they only fly 100 hours a year give or take, and aren't always pulling G. These RedBull guys fly 100 hours a month and everything they do involves pulling G!
Kindlemann was knocked unconscious during the accident and would have drowned if it wasn't for the Air Race's crack emergency response team, which had divers in the water with the crashed plane in under a minute. Kindlemann only suffered whiplash injuries in the crash. At least when the wheels explode off your formula one car, you don't face the risk of drowning.
That is crazy how fast the ERT was at the scene and in the water..

A fighter jet couldn't turn tight enough to maneouver through those courses. They also fly way too fast. Those planes are specially built for "stunt" flying. The G limits of Canadian F18's is around 7.33G, those guys are pulling 10G+. An F18 would overstress and come apart if it tried to pull that, pretty crazy.
I don't know what is tougher, the chicane or the quattro.
The chicane would be my guess... They are most likely pulling almost the same G's as the Quattro but they gotta set up to go through the gate while doing that.. I'm not sure if they are G limited for the chicane either.. I know with the quattro they are limited to 12 g's.. some pilots get disqualified for going over
