Su-57 pilots began to experience new anti-overload suits


TSAMTO, November 16th. Counter overload suits for fifth generation fighter pilots of the Su-57 began to undergo state tests, RIA Novosti reports, citing an unnamed source in the military-industrial complex.

“The anti-transfer suits for the Su-57 have gone through many stages of factory testing, and now, one can say, are at the final stage - the stage of state flight tests. In this equipment, test pilots are already flying, ”a source told RIA Novosti.

The interlocutor of the agency added that the equipment will go into the series as soon as the tests are completed, but did not specify the dates for their completion. At the same time, he noted that a preliminary assessment of the anti-overload system was already there.

Another source told RIA Novosti that high-rise suits were also handed over to the military. “There have not yet been flights in them, but they should take place soon,” the agency’s source said.

The anti-overload suit during aerobatic maneuvers with the occurring overloads automatically compresses the limbs and the pilot's abdomen, preventing blood from flowing out of the brain and preventing the threat of loss of consciousness. The high-rise suit is a one-piece jumpsuit with gloves and socks. It is designed to compensate for the sharp pressure drop in the cockpit in the event of an emergency or an accident at high altitudes.

In March, it was reported that five sets of anti-grip suits were transferred to the Sukhoi company, and the flight tests at the enterprise would take about six months, RIA Novosti reports.
