"particularly concerned about the use of the suit in tropical climates, Stubbs and his colleagues" tested it in a bomber flying out of Khartoum, Sudan. It was so hot that the plane couldn’t take off during the day because its jet engines needed cooler air; in fact, it could barely taxi. Stubbs noted that these tests demonstrated that ventilation suits were needed even on the ground, as temperatures could reach nearly 60˚C. He added that the plane was always welcomed by ground crews at the bases it visited because, after flying at 52,000 feet, it was nicely chilled. "They wanted to climb inside a cold airplane, so we got great treatment."
