Effects of wearing aircrew protective clothing on physiological and cognitive responses under various ambient conditions / Hilde Faerevik, Randi Eidsmo Reinertsen
Heat stress can be a significant problem for pilots wearing protective clothing during flights, because they provide extra insulation which prevents evaporative heat loss. Heat stress can influence human cognitive activity, which might be critical in the flying situation, requiring efficient and error-free performance. This study investigates the effect of wearing protective clothing under various ambient conditions on physiological and cognitive performance
