You finally lift off, you’re climbing, and then — suddenly — it feels like the plane just drops. Your heart races, your mind jumps to the worst-case scenario. But what you’re actually feeling is completely normal. After takeoff, pilots often reduce engine power once the airplane reaches a safe altitude. That power change slightly shifts the G-forces you feel — making your body interpret it as a “drop,” even though the airplane is still climbing steadily. It’s just physics and sensation — not dan

When a plane is flying upside down, a pilot can still pour water from a bottle into a cup due to the effects of relative motion and centripetal force. Inside the aircraft, everything, including the bottle and cup, shares the same frame of reference. During an inverted flight, pilots usually maintain a maneuver that simulates normal gravitational pull through centripetal force. This keeps the water behaving as if it were in a regular gravity environment, allowing the pilot to pour it without diff
