Thermal Conditions in the Cockpit of USAF Aircraft: Inflight Measurements from the A-7, A-10, F-4, F-15, and YC-14

Abstract

Cockpit environmental data are presented for A-7, A-10, F-4, F-15, and YC-14 aircraft. Representative values for dry-bulb, dew-point, and black- globe temperatures; air velocity; and four additional air temperatures are presented for each flight. The data are summarized and the physiological implications of the recorded temperatures are discussed. A detailed description of the USAF School of Aerospace Medicine Miniature Environmental Monitor II (MEM II) is provided.
