Many people suffer from a fear of flying, and TURBULENCE is one of the biggest contributing factors. This video shows how turbulence looks whilst looking out of the cabin window.
About one in sex or seven passengers on a typical airline flight is what airline people call a "white knuckler," someone who tenses up at the least turbulence or strange noise. Some of them wonder whether there really are pilots beyond the cockpit door. Some of this is because they suffer from mild or not so mild claustrophobia. Once in awhile a passenger acts irresponsibly by kicking a partition or trying to get by with smoking in a lavatory or some such. Some masturbate to relieve tension.
Commercial airliners are certificated to withstand 2.5 Gs with a 50% factor, which means that at about 4.25 Gs they will likely start popping rivets and bending skin. They are normally turned with a 30 degree bank, which puts 1.5 Gs or less on the airframe. Wings flex in turbulence, so in even the worst turbulence there is no danger of them coming off. I flew in the USAF for 6 years, then 27 1/2 for the airlines and was credited with more than 22,000 hours of flight time.
