    Of course, there will be no toilet on the fighter jet, and the diet control before boarding can only reduce the chance of urination or defecation to a certain extent, but as the moderator asked, even if you don't drink water for 8 hours before the trip, you will want to pee, so what should you do?

    Normally, because the range of the fighter is very short, the endurance time is very short, for example, the range of the J-7 fighter is 1,500 kilometers, the cruising speed is 900 kilometers and hours, and under normal combat training tasks, the flight time of each sortie does not exceed an hour, so there is no need to consider the pilot's internal urgency.

    However, in the past, pilots were provided with a Piddle Pack, which contained a sponge or dry powder to inhale the excreted urine. It is conceivable that such a solution will not be liked by pilots.

    According to the experimental results, it was found that stopping drinking water before the flight mission, although it will reduce the pressure of urination, but the dehydration of the body will affect the pilot's ability to withstand G-force, and on two occasions, because the F-16 pilot tried to solve the problem of urination, he needed to peel off the inner and outer layers of the flight suit by hand, and caused a crash because of distraction.

    Later, most pilots switched to elderly diapers, especially female pilots.

    In 2008, the U.S. Department of Defense launched the Advanced Mission Extender Device (AMXD) program to improve the urinary device for fighter pilots. The new device is a special underpants with a snake tube attached to the waist to deliver urine to a collection bag outside the flight suit.

    The female flight principle is to use a device like a tampon pad in the underwear for urine collection.

    The unit has been distributed to 4,200 pilots of fighter and attack aircraft such as the F-16, F-15, A-10 and F-22The U.S. Navy and Army are watching the effectiveness of the Air Force and deciding whether to follow suit.

    The American E-2 Hawkeye airborne early warning aircraft and B2 stealth bombers all have mini toilets to solve the physiological problems of pilots, and the toilets on the C-130 are more decent.

Nowadays, with the continuous development of science and technology, countries have paid more and more attention to the performance of fighter jets. It is precisely because of this that fighters are staying in the air for longer and longer periods of time. Although for the combat of the Air Force, the longer it stays in the air, the more advantageous it is for the battle.

If fighter pilots want to go to the toilet in the sky, if in the past they usually used to use something like a urine bag or gloves, if it is a female pilot, then they usually wear something like diapers and something like that, so it can be solved directly However, usually they will solve their personal problems before getting on the plane, because whether it is using a diaper bag or diapers, it is a bit embarrassing, but this is also a thing that cannot be helped. >>>More
