Abstract:
We conclude that there is no difference in LV wall thickness, dimensions, or functional parameters between air crew members who fly high + Gz aircraft and those who fly other types of aircraft. No differences were detected between high +Gz air crew personnel and others in development of structural and functional changes over the short-term course of a flying career.
