VENTILE ANTI-EXPOSURE SUIT.

Abstract

The purpose of TAC Test 68-203, Ventile Anti-Exposure Suit, was to determine the comfort and compatibility of this suit when used in the tactical fighter mission. This test was performed at the request of the Air Defense Command (ADC) and was a portion of the overall Ventile Anti-Exposure Suit test performed by ADC. Members of the 33 Tac Ftr Wg wore the ventile suit assembly on all types of missions in F-4 aircraft. Data were collected using daily questionnaires, plus a more detailed questionnaire administered 30 days after the test began. Upon completion of the test, each pilot provided a statement covering problems encountered, recommendations for improvement, and an overall statement of acceptance or rejection of the suit design. All pilots involved in testing the suit stated it was acceptable. Problem areas were found and recommendations submitted. After these problems are corrected, this exposure suit is recommended for Air Force purchase. (Author)
