Que tipo de força g as aves experimentam e como ela se compara aos humanos? [fechadas]

24

Era tão estranho, mas eu estava apenas olhando para uma gaivota voando e me perguntando que tipo de força-G ela poderia ver no vôo do dia-a-dia?

Provavelmente, há aves de rapina muito rápidas que ao saírem de mergulhos devem experimentar uma Força G razoavelmente alta, mas podem (em geral) lidar com mais ou menos do que um ser humano pilotando uma aeronave?

As aves experimentam regularmente entre 10 e 14 G de acordo com este website. Depois de ver como pássaros e insetos voam, os cientistas chegaram à conclusão de como os pássaros lidam com isso porque:

Animals will always have some advantages over machines, such as the ability to use their nervous systems to sense subtleties about the environment around them and alter their flight accordingly.

mais acima, no topo, menciona comparações entre pássaros e aeronaves militares de alto desempenho, como esta:

A Blackbird jet flying nearly 2,000 mph covers 32 of its own body lengths per second. But a common pigeon covers 75 of its body lengths a second. The roll rate of the aerobatic A-4 Skyhawk plane is about 720 degrees per second. The roll rate of a barn swallow is more than 5,000 degrees per second. Some military aircraft can withstand gravitational forces of 8-10 G (Earth's gravity is equal to 1 G). Many birds routinely experience G-forces greater than 10 G and up to 14 G.

De acordo com outro website

Every bit of our muscular-skeletal system is naturally crafted to deal with Earth’s gravity. Were you to travel to a planet that had a more significant gravity, a more massive planet with 5 G’s for example, you would either be unable to lift yourself off the ground, our the new weight-force would be so much that the air would be forced out of your lungs and your eyes would explode (something gruesome for sure).
