In this post, the poster obliterated the author's name for some reason.

Can anyone tell me who the author is?

We are waiting for such BETTER things and we want you to do better things rather than going after for only one thing

Perhaps MURADK is expecting another confusing thing from you

Just a quick doubt...which is more dangerous, negative G-force or Positive G-force? Which is harder to recover from?

Read the below, it will give you a good idea. Do read the Vertical axis g-force section as it can give some insight to your question.

why does everybody love(except US) two piece canopy?

 

[Wingman]

One of the more notable features one piece canopy from a pilot’s perspective is the exceptional field of view from the cockpit, a feature that is vital during air-to-air combat. The single-piece, bird-proof bubble canopy provides 360°

The Aircrafts like F16 ejection does not include the pilot breaking the canopy at all, since the entire one piece canopy is ejected before ignition of the ejection seat. Also, one piece canopies like in F16 and F22 are very, very thick because they have none of the supporting features found on old style canopies with struts. If Canopy Fails to Separate, the top of the seat can also give a clue with the cutting edges slightly above headrest level.

The all- transparent canopies (F-16, F-22 etc.) are indeed very useful and helping features compared with canopies divided by frames. Just try to fly them and compare the sensation, alertness and comfort it gives! But it is not for explanations. It was simply found to be very good thing to have.

exactly wat i was trying to say, but then why dont chinese use single piece canopy in j-10 or in thunders?

Here is something to keep people thinking. Why would a F-7PG pilot and good one at that make the following statement:
"Now we don't fight in close combat..its old concept..tactics have totally changed.."
For all I remember the PG was strictly a WVR fighter.. or was it??? :S
