As a reference, what is the G force experienced in a normal airplane? i guess no more than 2 G

It'd be much less than that. To put it into perspective, IIRC when the first 747 was built, the test pilot, for a laugh, did a "wing over" i.e. effectively turned the aeroplane upside down. It was only a 1G manoeuvre (as he later explained to the executives) and so was quite safe but he was told, quite firmly, not to do it again.

The most G force you'll feel on a normal airplane is when taking off, landing (air brakes), and in a turbulence. Otherwise, without looking outside you may not be able to tell whether an airplane is turning.

i can feel it!! i can feel when it's decellerating (even slightly), gaining and losing altitude (even slightly)... must be more sensible to this stuff...

still, a wing-over on a 747?? hahahahaha would love to see the passengers during that!!! ahhahaha
