Abstract:

A new extended coverage anti-G suit combines a new continuous lower body pressure bladder with a nonextensible outer covering. The continuous lower body pressure bladder includes an abdominal bladder section and a pair of wrap-around leg bladder sections. Each leg bladder sections overlaps slightly at the inseam. A trouser-shaped nonextensible outer covering covers the pressure bladder and restrains its expansion when the pressure bladder is inflated. A pair of pressure socks worn between regular socks and boots interconnects with the pressure bladder.
