Question 1

How do I convert g-force to ft/s²?

Accepted Answer

Multiply by 32.174. For example, 1g = 32.174 ft/s², which is standard gravity in imperial units.

Question 2

Why use ft/s² in aviation?

Accepted Answer

US aviation traditionally uses imperial units. Pilot training and aircraft manuals often reference ft/s².

Question 3

Is this conversion exact or approximate?

Accepted Answer

This conversion uses the precise mathematical formula and is exact for standard conditions. For gravitational acceleration, values may vary slightly by location.

Question 4

What is the standard gravity value used?

Accepted Answer

Standard gravity (g) is defined as exactly 9.80665 m/s². This value is used as the reference for acceleration conversions involving g-force.
