Skydrate Personal Aircrew Flight Equipment
The Skydrate is a fully automatic, hands free bladder relief system
designed for use in xed and rotary wing aircraft. The system was
designed to allow pilots to be hydrated during mission (in accordance
with mandatory regulation for aircrew of military aircraft) and to
remain fully clothed and secure in their seat harness at all times.
QUICKSTART
How Does The Skydrate Work?
The Skydrate system is simple to use. Worn discretely beneath the
ight suit, the collection cup hose connector contains sensors that will
detect urine once the user begins to urinate. The external control unit
will automatically activate, evacuating the urine from the cup and into
the attached collection bag. The Gen 3 Hose Switch has a push button
for manual activation of the control unit without waiting for sensors.
