“…Anti-g suits consist of two layers: (1) inextensible material; and (2) tubes positioned in the areas of the body where pressure should be applied. The tubes are interconnected and, depending on the suit type, filled with air or a liquid [1][2][3][4][5][6][7]. Today, anti-g suits are designed in such a way that the fitting of the overall to the body can be adjusted by means of a zipper, tie bands, or ropes.…”

“…The anti-g suit is a protective clothing item whose shape and construction components are the basic elements of protection, while in the most protective clothing items, the protection is achieved with textile material [5,8,9]. Thus, an anti-g suit should be adjusted to the body dimensions of the wearer or should be tailored in a made-to-measure manner.…”

In this research, the use of new technologies for the development of special protective overall for sport aircraft pilots was studied, with a focus on a comparative analysis of the static and dynamic body postures’ dimensions, intended for the development of the overall’s pattern design. For this purpose, digitalization of five male persons was carried out with the 3D human body scanner Vitus Smart by using 3D printed markers, precisely positioned on defined body locations, intended for exact measurement of body dimensions. Male persons, aged between 19 and 35 years with the same athletic body type and different body heights and body mass indexes (BMIs), were scanned in a standard static standing body posture and three dynamic body postures. A comparative analysis between the static and dynamic body postures was carried out. Based on the established body dimensions and girth dimensions of the 3D body model with 3D-modeled compression elements, made-to-measure construction of the overall pattern design was carried out. The function of these compression elements is redistribution of the blood from the lower extremities to the upper body parts at the appearance of high g-forces. Therefore, increased girth dimensions due to the use of compression elements were applied in the overall development process as construction measures with needed ease allowances. The functionality of the developed special protective overall was explored on the scanned 3D body model with 3D-modeled compression elements in a real sitting posture of the sport aircraft pilot in a cab by using virtual prototyping. The virtual simulation technology showed that a well-fitted protective overall for sport aircraft pilots can be developed by using a 3D scanned body model of a person in a sitting posture and its 3D body dimensions.
