Crew Escape & Life Support
Life Support System & Aircrew Equipment Assembly (AEA)
Yet another factor separating Eurofighter Typhoon from the crowd is its avionics and sensors suite. This section outlines the systems and packages necessary for high mission effectiveness and survivability in the high threat situations the aircraft was designed to meet.
To ensure that the pilot is physiologically compatible with Eurofighter Typhoon’s agile capability, the life support system provides pressure breathing and ‘g’-protection to the extent that ‘pilot-straining’ is not necessary under high ‘g’-force. All aircrew equipment is designed as an integral part of the weapon system.
- The AEA is unique to Eurofighter Typhoon and includes:
- Full-Cover Anti-‘G’ Trousers (FCAGTs) and Chest Counter
- Pressure Garment (CCPG)
- Liquid conditioning garment
- Nuclear, Biological, Chemical (NBC) protection
- A lightweight Head Equipment Assembly (HEA) incorporating the HMSS, Night Vision Enhancement (NVE), and optical protection.
