The purpose was to survey the occurrence of arm pain among Swedish fighter or test pilots in connection with exposures to high +Gz load when flying or performing centrifuge tests.
+Gz induced arm pain occurs in connection with high +Gz loads in flight as well as in centrifuge tests of high performance fighter pilots.
A questionnaire was used for data collection regarding +Gz induced arm pain. Respondents were 35 Swedish Air Force Viggen and Gripen fighter pilots who had previously participated as subjects in centrifuge tests between 1990 and 1995 at Brooks Air Force Base, TX, either with the standard anti-G suit or with extended coverage anti-G suit with pressure breathing during +Gz.
Of the respondents, 55% reported that they had experienced arm pain during flight at least once and 42% experienced it more than three times. However, arm pain was more common in the centrifuge tests (82% once; and 42% more than 3 times).
Presence of arm pain during high performance fighter aircraft flights is a phenomenon that should be taken into consideration when designing high performance aircraft or +Gz protective equipment.
目的是调查瑞典战斗机飞行员或试飞员在飞行或进行离心机测试时暴露于高 +Gz 负荷下手臂疼痛的发生率。
高性能战斗机飞行员在飞行中的高 +Gz 负荷以及离心机测试中会出现 +Gz 诱导的手臂疼痛。
使用问卷调查收集有关 +Gz 诱导手臂疼痛的数据。受访者为 35 名瑞典空军的维格恩和鹰狮战斗机飞行员,他们曾在 1990 年至 1995 年间作为受试者在德克萨斯州布鲁克斯空军基地参加离心机测试,测试时穿着标准抗 G 服或在 +Gz 期间穿着带有压力呼吸功能的扩展覆盖抗 G 服。
在受访者中,55% 报告他们在飞行中至少经历过一次手臂疼痛,42% 经历过三次以上。然而,手臂疼痛在离心机测试中更为常见(82% 经历过一次;42% 经历过三次以上)。
高性能战斗机飞行期间出现手臂疼痛是一个在设计高性能飞机或 +Gz 防护装备时应予以考虑的现象。
