Centro de Documentacion de Fundación MAPFRE - The Development of personal conditioning in military aviation

Notes: Sumario: This paper describes the development of personal conditioning systems in UK military aviation from the air-ventilated suit systems in the Second World War to the modern liquid cooled garments supplied by thermoelectric cooling devices. It describes the decreasing need for personal cooling brought about by the reduction in environmental operating temperatures as the RFA became based almost entirely in Europe. It goes on to describe how this reduction in thermal stresses attributable to aircraft performance, avionic equipment and complicated air-crew clothing assembliesRelated records: En: Ergonomics. - London [etc.]. - Vol. 31, nº 7, July 1988 ; p. 1031-1040Materia / lugar / evento: Ergonomía Equipos de protección individual Ropas Sistemas de aire acondicionado Refrigerantes Estrés térmico Confort térmico Aviones Gran Bretaña Secondary titles: Título: Ergonomics
