Prone Position Flight Bed Aims To Boost Pilot Endurance
Wright Field researchers unveiled a prone position pilot bed built for nylon netting and a curved frame that lets pilots withstand about three times the gravity of a sitting stance and twelve times gravity horizontally. The bed supports eight hours of use with no discomfort, aiming to reduce cockpit size and blackout risks for faster aircraft. Safety advances also include a separate railway response unit with bright red fire trains ready to reach alarm sites at 60 mph within five minutes.
