Physiologic and Anti-G Suit Performance Data from YF-16 Flight Tests
Abstract
Biomedical data were collected during high-G portions of 11YF-16 test flights. Test pilots monitored revealed increased respiratory rate and volume, decreased tidal volume, and increased heart rate at higher G levels, with one pilot exhibiting various cardiac arrhythmias. Anti-G suit inflation and pressurization lags varied inversely with G-onset rate, and suit pressurization slope was near the design value.
