Thermal and Acceleration Effects on Aircrew Members in Chemical Defense Gear.
Abstract
An experiment was conducted to determine the combined thermal and acceleration effects on aircrew members in chemical defense protective gear in a simulated air-to-ground mission. The subject flew two sorties per day in the Dynamic Environment Simulator. The environmental conditions simulated were typical of a 95th percentile hot summer central European day. Most of the responses seen in the subjects can be attributed to the thermal stress caused by the hot temperatures and the heavy protective clothing. (Author)
