Hypobaric Chamber

Performance evaluation of aircrew and their equipment at altitude. The facility comprises a three compartment man-rated hypobaric chamber, with which the pressure can be reduced to provide simulated altitudes, including rapid decompression, in excess of 100,000ft. A hyperbaric chamber for use in the event of a medical emergency supports the facility.

Our Work Includes:

  • US DoD - development of aircrew NBC Protection System
  • MoD - decompression illness studies, effects of pressure breathing and respiratory gas effects on vision
  • CCAT Aeromedical Training - hypoxia and decompression training for aeromedical crew
