British Flight pilot jacket - RAF RFD Euro fighter / typhoon Jet Pilot compression Jacket

RFD Beaufort Flight Jacket A357202A18 as used by RAF Typhoon and Eurofighter pilots.All clips, zips and buckles complete and intact. Lifejacket bladder and chest wall bladders are intact.Further information on use:The flight jacket is attached to the seat harness torestrain the pilots arms in case of ejection. The same feature is also seen onthe Swedish 'Armfixerjacka 97/K' that shows more similarities to the Eurofighters jacket. Besides the arm restraints, the RFD Beaufort made jacket incorporates a life preserver (horse collar type) and pockets for survival gear. Above 40,000' pressurised oxygen is delivered to the aircrew via their oxygen mask at a positive pressure to help prevent symptoms of hypoxia caused by high altitude. However, such high pressures can lead to distension and damage of the lung. The Eurofighter flight jacket contains air filled bladders that surround the chest wall. These bladders which are filled with gas at the same pressure as gas in the mask. This prevents lung distension so eliminating the risk of lung damage. The same concept is used in, for instance, the USA developed Combat Edge system. The first jackets stated 'Eurofighter flight jacket' on the label, the later ones only say 'flight jacket'.Worldwide shipping available, see postage rates, contact me if you require further information.
