Evaluation of the RAF P/Q Oxygen Mask with the USAF HGU-2A/P Flying Helmet.
Abstract
The RAF P/Q oxygen mask was evaluated for use in conjunction with the USAF flying HELMET. The mask/helmet assembly was tested for comfort, fit, fixed visual fields, and retention during sustained positive acceleration. The mask itself was tested for inspiratory resistance, ease of Valsalva, skin irritation, freeze resistance, and faceseal air leaks. Comparisons were then made with the MBU-5/P mask now operational in the U.S. Air Force.
