Anti-G Trousers
Wearable Technologies - SP 2021
The Non-Pneumatic Anti-G Trousers are a military grade
G-Suit designed for use in the Air Force. The intention of
the suit is to protect the pilot from G-LOC (G-force induced
Loss Of Consciousness) by compressing the arteries in the legs,
while providing both size adjustability and comfort. This suit
utilizes Nitinol SMA actuators as the leg compressors, in lieu of
the proprietary nylon airbags commonly used in current designs,
which are well know for their discomfort and non-breathability.
This project was an assignment completed by a team of 3,
and was further expanded for one month after the due date
as a special contract by Survitec.
