TEST AND EVALUATION OF U. S. AIR FORCE EXPERIMENTAL CUTAWAY TYPE ANTI-BLACKOUT SUITS DESIGNATED MA-1

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to test and evaluate the U. S. Air Force experimental cutaway type anti-blackout suit designated MA-1. The MA-1 anti-blackout suit was tested and evaluated for anti-blackout protection at various positive G levels to the points of greyout and blackout. The results of the anti-blackout protection afforded by the anti-blackout suit has been presented in table form. The suit is comfortable, provides adequate anti- blackout protection, and would probably be well accepted by fleet pilots. No major differences were noted between the protection afforded by the MA-1 anti-blackout suit between experienced and inexperienced subjects.
