[066] DEVELOPMENT OF A SENSOR PACKAGE FOR ENVIRONMENTAL MONITORING OF CABIN AIR ON MILITARY CARGO AIRCRAFT DURING FLIGHT

摘要

INTRODUCTION: Current cargo aircraft conduct world-wide missions, yet no data are available on the quality of the breathing air supplied to the pilot, flight crew, or passengers. Chemicals may enter the environmental control system (ECS), which provides air supply for aircraft cabins.The contamination can affect both the health and performance of crewmembers and passengers. A suite of sampling instruments was flown to characterize aerosols and volatiles delivered to the cabin during flight and to determine which instruments are capable of withstanding the rigors of flight.
