High Altitude Pilot Training

The video tutorial describes a new plane designed for high-altitude combat and the training of pilots in a low-pressure chamber at Randolph Field. The test simulates conditions at high altitudes, showing the effects of oxygen deprivation on the human body, including loss of coordination and muscular control. The video concludes with the revival of cadets after the test, highlighting the training of Super Sky Warriors.

What is the primary purpose of the new plane mentioned in the video?

• To engage in high-altitude combat

• To conduct scientific research in the stratosphere

• To provide commercial flights at high altitudes

• To transport cargo across continents

What is controlled outside the tank during the pilot tests?

• Oxygen and air pressure

• Temperature and humidity

• Speed and direction

• Light and sound

At what altitude does muscular control begin to vanish due to lack of oxygen?

• 25,000 feet

• 18,000 feet

• 15,000 feet

• 10,000 feet

What happens to the body after 10 minutes at about 20,000 feet?

• The body adapts to the altitude

• Vision becomes clearer

• Complete blackout occurs

• The heart rate stabilizes

How do the cadets recover after experiencing a blackout at high altitude?

• By resting for a few hours

• By receiving oxygen

• By descending to a lower altitude

• By drinking water
