Cold Water Survival Suits for Aircrew
Abstract
Laboratory and sea trials were used to evaluate the effectiveness of three aircrew cold water survival garments: the British Mark 10 suit, the United States CWU 21/P suit, and the Canadian 'U.VIC Thermofloat' jacket. It was concluded that the three alternatives provided similar thermal protection but with regard to several other important features, the U.VIC Thermofloat jacket was superior. Consequently, in this evaluation the U.VIC Thermofloat jacket was shown to provide the most effective form of aircrew protection.
