Abstract:
With the progressively increasing performance capabilities of high-performance aircraft over the last several decades, there has been concern for spinal symptoms and spinal disease in aviators flying these aircraft. This concern is well documented in the NATO RTO Technical Report "Cervical Spinal Injury from Repeated Exposures to Sustained Acceleration" published in February 1999 (RTO-TR-4 published by the Human Factors and Medicine Panel) and is an area identified as needing further research.
