"G" Suits
Non military so please be gentle with me.
After watching the Channel 5 programme on the Red Arrows, it got me thinking about the g suits.
I presume they are inflated by air, if so, where does the air come from?,
1 Is it a dedicated air supply with it's own compressor, to a pressure vessel thus maintaining a constant available pressure
2. How is the g actually sensed when in high g turns, and I presume the pressure proportional to the amount of g being applied.
3 What pressure would the system be at in say a 6g turn
4. When the g comes off is the relief proportional to the lessening of g, and where does the air vent to.
Thanks
