abstract="If pilot and fighter plane capability to sustain accelerations in the 10 to 15 G range for many seconds or minutes provides an important tactical advantage, as some fighter pilots believe, currently used anti-G procedures, including the Combat Edge Technology (29), will provide only partial, questionably safe protection. Therefore, relative to preservation of maximal pilot effectiveness, current and future advanced fighters, if flown in seated positions, are physiologically outdated in respect to blackout and G-LOC prevention. Consequently, future victories in the air may come to the adversary first to discard conventional upright or partially supinated seats in favor of a biomedically advanced fighter, developed for flight in the fully horizontal, preferably prone, position.<p /><p>Language: en</p>",
