Abstract: Background: Fighter aircraft pilots are regularly exposed to physiological challenges from high acceleration (Gz) forces, as well as increased breathing pressure and oxygen supply in the support systems. We studied, whether effects on the lung and systemic oxidative stress were detectable after real training flights comprising a wide variety of exposure conditions and their combinations. Methods: Thirty-five pilots of the German Air Force performed 145 flights with the Eurofighter Typhoon. Before and after fli… Show more
