The airplane could be momentarily upside down and passengers would not know.
At some point I suspect gravity would override the masking sense of motion that he talks about.
- jacksoncarter 16y agoIf the centrifugal force in the upward direction is 2g, that is, twice gravity, then passengers will feel like the plane is flying exactly upright and parallel with the earth.

- sesqu 16y agoEven with a centripetal force of 137N (2g, 70kg), you'd think passengers would notice earth's gravitational pull circling them.
