[edit] Germen or Swiss

Though the company is partly swiss owned, the suit was developed in Germany. The recent edit does not agree with http://www.autofluglibelle.com/html/history.html Kowloonese 09:33, 31 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] COMPRESSED AIR OR FLUID??

Wasnt the RCAF suit liquid filled as well? CLOWNDEACAN

Ex nihil 08:49, 20 June 2006 (UTC) Yes it was, and the first RAF suit in WW2 was water filled. The comment on compressed air needs to be corrected. I am not aware of a compressed air suit and I cannot imagine how it would work. Are we confused here with space suits?

Ex nihil 09:28, 20 June 2006 (UTC) I have made some fairly drastic surgery on this as much of it was just not right. I still have doubts about the space suit bit at the bottom but have not had time to research this one. Perhaps you would like to?? Do astronauts wear g-suits, my understanding was they didn't, just vacuum suits and they got around the g-force by reclining the seats. Maybe they did later on.
