AN AIRCREW HYPOXIA-WARNING SYSTEM

Abstract

An aircrew hypoxia-warning system has been described in detail. In- flight data obtained with this system during evaluation procedures carried out in an F-100 type research aircraft are presented. The warning system and the evaluation data are discussed in terms of some of the important operational features and requirements. The device is shown to give satisfactory warning of any situation tending to lower mask oxygen pressure below a given preset critical level.
