@newssvr29.news.prodigy.net:

and have concluded (a rebuttable
conclusion) it's not a problem for realistic airplane operations. Your
comments tend to support that.


Actually, my comments are not intended to support this. I think people
would have a problem going up and down and down and up at a third of a
g. It would feel like a roller coaster ride.


Wouldn't be as much as that in practice and you get g from the airplane
rotating around it's pitch axis when you sit in a cigar tube anyway!
