This is important because an airplane wants to be nose-up.
-
It creates positive Gs, that sensation you get
-
when you're forced to the back of your seat.
-
Negative Gs, on the other hand,
-
are an entirely different matter.
-
When the nose of a plane begins pitching downward,
-
you get negative Gs, which puts enormous pressure
-
on the structural integrity of the aircraft.
-
With enough negative Gs,
-
the wings will start to rip off the plane,
-
which then compromises the fuselage.
