Believe that many partners are in all kinds of film and television works to see this phenomenon, fighter pilots will wear oxygen masks and helmets in flight, giving a relatively cool feeling, but the pilot to fly a transport aircraft, bombers and even civil aircraft pilots basically do not bring oxygen masks, which can not help but let us have a question, are pilots, why fighter pilots to bring oxygen masks The answer is coming, here we will take a look at the answer. The answer is here, here we will come together to understand it.
First of all, we need to know the difference between fighter jets and transport planes, bombers, civil aviation, fighter jets are the smallest, but the fastest and most flexible, carrying firepower is also very powerful, and transport planes, bombers, civil aviation airliners are almost as big as the block, the flight speed is not as fast as fighter planes are also not as flexible, usually they are cruising speed in the air and smooth flying, pilots do not need to put the plane to the limit, the pilot will not be able to fly in the air. The pilots do not need to pull the aircraft to the limit or inverted flight, so the transport aircraft, bomber flight attitude is more stable, which is the fighter pilots need to bring oxygen masks, while the other aircraft do not use one of the most important reasons, the following we come to the details.
The reason why fighter pilots need to bring oxygen masks is because pilots driving fighter jets will carry out a variety of flight maneuvers, which will produce overload, and overload will lead to the pilot's brain blood supply, oxygen supply is insufficient, easily lead to the pilot fainted, temporary blindness and other situations, so with oxygen masks is to ensure that pilots can supply oxygen in a timely manner. Modern fighter jets can generally withstand 9G overload, but ordinary people can only withstand a maximum of 4G or so overload, once more than the human body's tolerance limit, then people will gradually lose consciousness, the aircraft will become uncontrolled, the final result is often unimaginable, so with the oxygen mask allows pilots to fly in the big overload, forcing the oxygen to the lungs, as a way to maximize protection of pilots! safety. There are also load-resistant suits, overload-resistant cockpits, and compensatory undershirts that can be used to improve a pilot's overload resistance.
In contrast, transport aircraft, bombers, civil aircraft do not need to bring oxygen masks, because these three aircraft do not need to carry out overload flight, so the pilot will not appear coma phenomenon, in addition to modern large aircraft are generally equipped with a pressurized cockpit, this equipment can guarantee that the aircraft in the 10,000-meter-high altitude flight in the cabin of the sufficient supply of oxygen, so no matter whether it is the pilots or the passengers, the cabin can be calm and comfortable. Cabin can breathe calmly, passengers will not appear plateau reaction, but careful partners will find that there is a cover above the seat of the airliner, which has an oxygen mask, which is why? In fact, the answer is very simple, once the structure of the aircraft is damaged or a failure has occurred, the internal supply of the aircraft will be insufficient, at this time it is necessary to bring oxygen masks to protect the oxygen supply.
Finally, the principal believes that due to the different flight modes of fighter jets and other airplanes, it often needs to carry out large overload flights, so pilots need sufficient oxygen supply, which is the main reason why fighter pilots need to bring oxygen masks. What do you guys think about this?
