COMPARATIVE EVALUATION OF USAF STANDARD A/P22S-2 AND IMPROVED A/P22S-2A HIGH ALTITUDE, FULL PRESSURE FLYING OUTFITS. SUPPLEMENT 1. A/P22S-2A (MOD 1)

Abstract

The A/P22S-2A (Mod 1) outfit is compared with the A/P22S-2 outfit. The components and factors compared include: Weight, leak rate and pressure relief, reach capability, work space, ventilation efficiency, and back pressure. The comments of the persons wearing the outfit were also considered. Results indicate that the A/P22S-2A (Mod 1) shows some improvement over the A/P22S-2; however further improvements are required to make the outfit more operationally acceptable. Specific recommendations are made as to those areas that need improvements.
