![]() The two F-35As slated to perform at the Paris Air Show have arrived safely. The F-35 Joint Program Office is leading the investigation into the root causes of the suspected hypoxia incidents and is supporting the folks at Luke. Perhaps this is the system Leonard mentioned, but I’m not sure. This data will then be analyzed for correlations to physiological episodes and hypoxia-like symptoms that may have occurred during flight to ultimately help determine root cause,” Stuart Buckley, VP for business development and sales at Cobham Mission Systems, says in a statement. “To unravel the mystery of root cause, we will start by creating a comprehensive mosaic of information that will simultaneously zero in on how the oxygen source equipment is performing, what the cockpit environmental conditions are around the pilot, and monitor the pilot’s physiological data captured in exhaled breath. They will capture environmental, oxygen system performance, and pilot physiological data “to help discern root cause of debilitating physiological events that continue to plague aircrew safety and mission readiness.” She will succeed Chris Chadwick, who has announced his retirement from the company. It’s the first part of a two-stage system that will include an exhalation sensor block. 24, 2016 / PRNewswire / - The Boeing NYSE: BA board of directors has elected Leanne Caret president and chief executive officer of the company's Defense, Space & Security business effective March 1. ![]() They’ve already delivered the first Inhalation Gas Sensor to the Air Force School of Aerospace Medicine, the company says in a release. Meanwhile, at the Paris Air Show, Cobham will be unveiling a new testing system tomorrow for these so-called physiological events. “We do think the OBOGS system is not as robust as it could be, but it does meet the minimum standard,” he said, without elaborating. Also, Leonard did not sound very impressed with the F-35’s On Board Oxygen Generation System (OBOGS), which skims air off the engine intake - an unlimited supply as long as the aircraft keeps flying - then purifies, cools and concentrates it for the pilots to breathe. ![]()
