Positive G is what you get when you pull on the yoke in normal flight. Zero G
is what you get when you push on the yoke in normal flight. Negative G is what
you get when you push really hard in no longer normal flight. G
Seriously, 1 positive G is what you're feeling right now sitting in your chair.
Zero G allows you to float. Negative G tries to fling you out of your chair.
Others can probably word this better than I did.
