Abstract:
Fighter pilots with health abnormalities were examined for their tolerance to +Gz acceleration. It was found that pilots with psychoneurological disorders and cardiac arrhythmias showed a lower acceleration tolerance. Pilots with arterial hypertension displayed a markedly higher tolerance as compared to the average pilot population. Other health disturbances produced no effect on +Gz acceleration tolerance.
