FIELD: personal use articles.

SUBSTANCE: method of adaptive antigravity and high altitude compensating protection of the pilot based on carbon nanotubes and a device implementing it is a universal flight suit used on medium and high-altitude flights of the aircraft. The suit is made of heat-resistant fabric and comprises antigravity and high-altitude compensating tensioning cameras located in the area of shins, thighs, abdomen, waist, chest, back, shoulders and arms, and antigravity cameras located in the area of abdomen and lower limbs, an overload sensor, an on-board computer connected to its output. The artificial muscles on an elastic substrate are sewn in a suit in sections in the special cases, which consist of air-gel with graphene nanotubes made in the form of a band with the ability to stretch or shrink under the influence of a small applied voltage across or along the muscles, along the guide band or cord sewn into the lower part of the case, acting on the suit fabric, thereby compressing and unclamping the pilot's body, by applying variable and constant pressure, conductive switching consisting of a flexible and strong isolated graphene wires connecting the sections of artificial muscles in the said areas of the suit, the graphene sensors of the parameters of pulse and respiration, sewn into the suit, respectively, in the areas of neck, heart, groin and intercostal and anticardium, the control unit of artificial muscles, located over the upper right side of the chest of the pilot suit, which comprises successively interconnected recording unit, a computing unit of calculation in the selected mode of forces on artificial muscles and a control unit of electrical signals, the recording unit inputs are connected to the outputs of the graphene sensors of the parameters of frequency and the strength of the pulse, and sensor outputs of the respiratory rate. The inputs of the computing unit for calculating forces on sections of artificial muscles are connected to the outputs of the overload sensor through the on-board computer, as well as to the outputs of the touch panel of operation mode selection of the artificial muscles of the suit for antigravity protection or for high-altitude compensating tension. The outputs of the control unit of electrical signals are connected through the graphene switching to the inputs of sections of artificial muscles sewn in a suit in the area of chest, abdomen, shins, thighs and arms to ensure a high-altitude compensating tension and for antigravity protection - with the inputs of the sections of artificial muscles in the area of abdomen, thighs, and shins. To protect the pilot in case of possible loss of pressurization of the aircraft at high altitudes the lightweight thermal insulation - graphene air-gel is used in a costume-jumpsuit.

EFFECT: increased workability, the degree of universality and autonomy in case of overload and compensating effects, increased reliability, safety, ergonomic features of the suit, and the adaptive physiological effects on pilot are used.
