AS the performance of operational fighter and bomber aircraft steadily rises, so too does the pilot's reliance on the artificial atmosphere provided by oxygen and pressurization systems for high-altitude flight. Since explosive decompression at altitudes of the order of 50,000 ft. and above can have extremely serious effects upon the human body, it is necessary to provide aircrew with fully-pressurized high-altitude flying suits.
