This non-experimental, descriptive correlational research study examined the thermal environment of lifter positions and human responses onboard the Hercules C-130 aircraft. The C-13O aircraft is a cargo aircraft that can be configured to transport patients. Thermal stress is one of eight stresses of flight patients experience in the airborne environment. The study measured ambient air temperature, air flow, perception of thermal environment, perception of thermal comfort, tympanic temperature and skin temperature. Measurements were obtained preflight, post flight and every fifteen minutes inflight.
