Thermal data from helicopters operating in a sub-arctic environment.
Using automatic and observer-operated equipment for monitoring thermal data, observations have been made during Royal Navy Wessex 5 helicopter operations in a sub-Arctic climate. Measurements were taken in flight of front and rear cabin temperatures and aircrew deep body and skin temperatures. The results indicate that the "arcticised" aircraft used had more than enough cabin heating to alleviate cold stress on the aircrew.
