High-altitude balancing suit VKK-15K

High-altitude balancing suit VKK-15K - Gear for fighting aircraft pilots, providing their life support and improving perform­ance, for flights over land.

Design:

Overall and jacket are made of high-strength un­inflammable fabrics. Two types of balancing blad­ders inside the overall: tensioner (TD) and anti-g device(AGD). bladder. TD bladder is connected to oxygen set and AGD bladder is connected to auto­matic pressure control through common connector. The suit has a soft ventilating system with a con­necting pipe to connect to air conditioning system aboard.

Features:

Exercise tolerance limits of G-loads increase -not less 2,5 units.

Maximum working pressure in AGD bladders -0,9 kgs/sq.cm.

Maximum working pressure in TD bladders is 0,5 kgs/sq.cm.

Maximum adaptation altitude (in case of encap­sulation) - 20 km.

Residence time (in case of emergency encapsu­lation) at a height of more than 12 km -3 min, including 1 min at a height of 20 km.

Weight: not more than 4,65 kg.

Service life: 5 years.

High-altitude balancing suit VKK-6M

High-altitude balancing suit VKK-6M provides for a pilot life support and improving performance at a height up to 40 km.

Consists of anti-g device (AGD). tensioner (TD).

abandon pressure compensator.

AGD consists of two leg and one abandon rubber bladders, connected to each other with adapters. TD - rubber bladder consists of two parts connected with a straight arch. During flight in unpressurized cockpit (at a cruising altitude of more than 12 km), tensioner bladders are supplied with oxygen for me­chanical body reduction. This reduction compen­sates superfluous pressure in lungs.

Specifications:

Acceleration to be tolerated by the pilot wearing VKK-6M is up to10Gs.

Maximum working pressure in AGD bladders - 1.6 kgs/sq.cm.

Maximum working pressure in TD bladders is 2 kgs/sq.cm.

Capable of operating through a temperature range - 30 °C to +50° С.

At an altitude of more than 14 km operates togeth­er with pressurized helmet GCH-6, pressure gloves PK-1 and pressure socks KN-4. Working time during flight in unpressurized cockpit (at a cruising altitude of 14 km, using pressurized helmet) is not less than 4 min. VKK-6M can operate in conjunction with VK-3M.

Weight: from 3.2 to 3.6 kg (depending on size).

Service life: 13 years.
