PILOT PROTECTION AGAINST "G' FORCES

Aro's new "anti-G" Valve plays a vital role in today's protection of jet pilots. 
     This valve links the pilot's "Anti-G Suit" to a supply of compressed air. Any sudden change in "G" force (gravity or centrifugal force caused by turns, dives, or climbs) opens the valve. Air accurately metered for the existing flight conditions is admitted to the "G" suit bladders, creating pressure on the legs, thighs and front abdomen. This pressure prevents the pilots blood from rapidly draining from his head down into his body thus preventing "blackout".
