How many Gs does a fighter aircraft pull?

The limiting factor isn't the plane, but the pilot. Most air forces won't allow manouvers above 9 Gs, to keep the pilots from passing out and crashing. -Most fighter aircraft have G meters and pilots will be in trouble if they pull high G during training or other peacetime flights.


What is a fighter plane?

A fighter airplane is one that is designed to fulfill the mission to hunt, attack and destroy other airplanes. Most WW1 fighters could carry a pilot, guns and occasionally bombs.The earliest WW1 airplanes were simple observation aircraft mostly artillery spotters. Later they were armed with defensive weapons. But they were not pure fighters. It took a few years for the designers to produce aircraft that were created to fulfill the fighter role.During the pre-WW2 years, the US developed aircraft that were called "pursuit planes". This designation indicated that their mission was to chase down enemy aircraft---still a role of a fighter aircraft.Modern jets are designed as fighters to carry air-to-air missiles and special radar to locate and track enemy aircraft.
