Experimental flying suit
I read somewhere recently that a new flight suit technology was being tested. The suit is full of acutators that can apply pressure around the body at quite a high resolution.
The good bit is that if you link this into aircraft attitude, pitch and so on and apply appropriate pressure, it becomes very much easier to sense the aircraft's orientation with respect to ground. This not only compensates for confusing (or absent) visual cues, but creates such a tight feedback loop that even untrained bods can throw stuff around the sky with relative impunity.
It's an intriguing idea. Does anyone know about this -- or better yet, has anyone tried this?
