A NEW HEAVY WINTER FLYING CLOTHING ASSEMBLY

reportActive / Technical Report | Accession Number: AD0407013 | Open PDF

Abstract:

A serious clothing problem is imposed on aircrew personnel because of space limitations in the cockpits of many jet aircraft. It is often difficult or impossible for flight crews to wear adequate clothing for protection in extremely cold environments that may be encountered during an emergency survival situation. The possibility of replacing certain garments of the standard AF winter flying assembly with newer and better insulated garments within the Air Force inventory was investigated as one approach to this problem. Such an assembly was devised and compared with the standard assembly by measuring various physiological responses of subjects in cold environments.
