The task of driving the vehicle will fall to Wing Commander Green, 46, who will lie feet-first in the Bloodhound. As the car accelerates, from 0-1,050mph in 40 seconds, he will experience a force of 2.5G (2 times his bodyweight) and the blood will rush to his head.

As he decelerates, experiencing forces of up to 3G, the blood will drain to his feet and he could black out. He will practise for this pounding in a stunt aircraft, flying upside-down over the British countryside.

What, so it'll subject him to a fair bit less G-Force than an F1 car then? Let alone a Top Fuel Dragster? TBH, he could practice by riding that rollercoater at Thorpe Park that flings you up to 80mph in 2.3s.

I think that's just the Times being melodramatic.
As a combat fighter pilot I would imagine Wing Commander Green will be used to more G than that.
