G Limit

Do some homework and look for descriptive information on a value termed Equivalent Retreating Indicated Tip Speed or ERITS, for short. It is a short cut way to get an approximation of a rotor's stall boundary. Not perfect, but gets one in the ballpark.

As to the maneuvers to obtain maximum G, look for a copy of the original Mil Standard D 23222. Look in the Structural Demonstration Chapter. Don't do that stuff without adult supervision.
