Subject: How much G can spartans wistand in flight.

You know, earth's gravity is 1G, most of human worlds has gravity of 1G.
When you fly you go though gravity levels.
Our day pilots can wistand up to 7G with specialized suits.

At ones of discovery shows they showed that few pilots can wistand up to 12G.

So, how much G can spartan wistand?
(spartan II and spartan III)

Sorry for my grammar mistakes, haven't talked in english for 2 weeks.

"Dude, what are you doing right now?"
"Uhh... Heh, my mom."
"Dude... What?"

More than 12Gs.

Well, no -blam!-.
I need precise data.

Well, i gues you can't speculate ether.

Well have any Spartans fought on Covenant home worlds? They have different G's that can be looked up.

However it is likely that it is more than 12G. The normal human can withstand up to 30G, but only for 30 seconds.

So 30G has to be the cap (even a Spartan wouldn't last long). So it is anywhere between 1G and 30G. I think an average Spartan could withstand somewhere around 20G. Not too extreme but not very easy either.

However a Spartan can withstand up to 30G like a normal human can, but only for a few seconds.

I am...whimsical today.

The main problem with Gee-forces on pilots is that high gees can cause blackouts, as the heart cannot pump blood to the brain effectively enough in such an environment.

The gee-suits given to pilots actually constrict the flow of blood to the extremities (mainly the legs I believe), thus helping force the blood to circulate to the head, and so preventing blackout.
They can only do so much, however, and are still only effective to a certain threshold.

As MJOLNIR suits have a very well developed pressure system, and as Spartan IIs have (assumably) a very well developed cardio-vascular system, I'd say that a Spartan would be able to withstand at least 15 gees without blacking out.

As for planetary gravities, I'd guess that a Spartan would be able to operate in a constant 5 g environment. The suit would be up for it, it'd more be a question of adapting to an environment when tripping over would be the equivalent of falling 5 metres.

"I may not be perfect, but always been true."

Well I don't know about Spartans, but the Elites couldn't really handle Te's 4G setting and they are as strong as Spartans...

If you're passionate about the thing you're talking about, I'll always lend an ear.

IIRC in GoO on the section about Kurt in Blue Team, it was shown that the suits could black out a user when the insurrectionist had manipulated gravity conditions. This shows that it has some kind of limit, I'm not sure if it was stated or if it was gravity but hopefully that may be of some use.

I was reading about bomb suits and the original bomb suits didn't protect the user from the blast. So it would cause internal bleeding. Now they do. So i figure that the 7g would be some what similar force to the blast from an explosive. So i would say they probably would near to double the g they could with stand with out blacking out 30seconds later.

Don't do anything you wouldn't want to have to explain to paramedics. Trust me, I'm a pilot.

It's never stated anywhere, but considering a suit of MJOLNIR armour is filled with hydrostatic gel, whose pressure can be adjusted, it could act in a similar fashion to a pilots flight suit; that is, adjusting the pressure so that one's body fluids would not rush to different areas of the body during high-intensity maneuvers.

i'd say ah little bit under 17 gs.

This man, this man right here put it so eloquently that I actually cancelled my own 2000+ word long post.

The person who said participating is important, not winning, obviously never won anything.

I just checked that and here is the excerpt:

''We used an antigrav plate, old technology that never panned out, but for out purposes, it worked just fine. A focused beam fooled your armour's sensors into thinking you were in a 10-Gee environment. It increased internal pressure to save your lives, momentarily rendering you unconscious.''

This means the Spartan's blacked out with 10 gees instantaneously. Weird. It's probably something overlooked by Nylund, because Spartan's should be able to resist more gee's and during more time.

How much G-forces can a Spartan take? A better question would be how much they can take in a certain time frame? A regular human can take continuos acceleration of about 2G's if I am correct, regular humans can take sustained acceleration of 3-4G's about half a minutw. Pilots with special suits can take acceleration of 7-12G's for short periods of time, but longer periods would start to be dangerous. But then again, people have survived from massive forces of 100G's because the length of the acceleration was only milliseconds.

With that in mind, I would say the limit for constant acceleration of a Spartan isn't much higher than of a regular human. They have improved blood circulation which means stronger, more flexible blood vessels. The improved blood circulation would definitely make them withstand at least 4, maybe 5G's acceleration continuously, but anything more would probably cause a black-out after an extended period of time.

What comes to short, half minute long moments. Here I could see their heart being able to pump the blood effectively to everywhere for a short period of time, especially with the suit. But unless there were some very specific augumentations to the strength of the blood vessels, I can't see it going much beyond 20G's without some serious damage to the capillaries.

But personally I'd believe the Spartans force withstanding capabilities are the best under very short moments of extreme shocks. We've seen them jump from orbit and colliding to the ground, and I would dare to say that it is around 200-300G's. But that would be very dangerous to them.

I'd personally say 3G's for extended periods of time, 15 for short periods (around 30 seconds), and 200 for very short shocks such as impact. But generally, even for regular humans it's hard to say a specific amount of acceleration as it's always relative to length of the acceleration. For Spartans, we don't even know how good their augumentations were for stuff like this.
