Scientists calculated that the 50mph speed of the hummingbird at the fastest point in its descent is equivalent to it moving 383 times its body length each second. G-force isnt something Id want though I can step on my Polytune and change my tuning between songs easy enough.

A Peregrine falcon dives at only 200 body lengths per second and a Mig-25 fighter jet dives a mere 40 times its length.
Hummingbird g force. But hummingbirds do it mid-flight and really fast reaching a G-Force. Hummingbirds family Trochilidon requires at least half their own body weight in food mainly nectar and tiny insects every single day. The G-force as it turns out of its dive is nearly nine times the force of gravity the same as the maximum G-forces experienced by fighter pilots.
With the possible exception of shrews they have the highest metabolic rate of any known animal. Other woodpeckers may experience and even higher g-force. At maximum descent speed about 10 g of gravitational force occurs in the courting hummingbird during a dive.
According to NPR scientists might use this to develop micro air vehicles or improve the spin cycle on washing machines. Keep in mind thats 5 times more force than Formula 1 racing cars which typically only reach 6 on a good day. The AeroVironment Nano Hummingbird or Nano Air Vehicle NAV is a tiny remote controlled aircraft built to resemble and fly like a hummingbird developed in the United States by AeroVironment Inc.
The G-force as it turns out of. When they whip their head and body it can reach a G-force of 34. To specifications provided by the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency DARPA.
During a mating display the male Annas Hummingbird can accelerate up to 385 body lengths g-force 10 per second during a dive. Hummingbirds can fly faster than jets. New slow-motion photography shows the tiny birds shed water much like dogs do.
At maximum descent speed about 10 g of gravitational force occurs in the courting hummingbird during a dive Note. I havent tried G-force since the 2015 models though it left a bad enough taste in my mouth I wont be trying any more. By whipping their heads back and forth.
The cameras show that the delicate bird shakes its head with such acceleration that it can reach a g-force of 34 Formula 1 racing cars typically reach less than 6g. In other words the perceived G forces are always slightly behind the actual acceleration of the airplane. That G-force would make a human black out yet this 12oz bird is able to handle it with grace.
By comparison to humans this is a g-force acceleration causing near loss of consciousness in fighter pilots during flight of fixed-wing aircraft in a high-speed banked turn. Hummingbirds wings flap 70 beats per second and are reported to fly faster than a fighter jet. G-force is generated as the bird pulls out of the dive.
Personally I have a bigger problem with all the chrome they stuck all over the HP models than the robot tuners. By comparison to humans this is a G-force acceleration well beyond the threshold of causing near loss of consciousness in fighter pilots occurring at about 5 Gz during. For Hummingbird the reverse is true.
Another study also showed the same species of hummer shakes its head with such acceleration that they can reach a g-force of 34 well over the 6g typically encountered by Formula 1. A pitch up will instantly be felt as positive G even before the aircraft has begun to accelerate.
