ion rises rather rapidly until it reaches a maximum of 3.25 g. at 3.4 seconds, which is 0.6 second later than when the elevator reaches its maximum position. From this maximum the acceleration falls very rapidly to a minimum of 0.3 at the seventh second, and after this it rises more slowly to the… … 4 6 Time in seconds Fig. 22.—Sudden flattening out of a dive. movement of the elevator by approximately 1 second, due to the inertia of the machine. It should be remembered that the air speed as recorded here is only approximate, as there is no way of actually calibrating an air-speed meter under…
