Air Force Research Laboratory investigates U-2 pilot size

Dr. Gregory Zehner, 711th Human Performance Wing senior physical anthropologist, measures Airman 1st Class Alexander Scott, 9th Maintenance Squadron U-2 phase technician, to create a baseline before dressing him in a pressure suit for a study at Beale Air Force Base, Calif., May 22. Experts, such as Zehner, from the Air Force Research Laboratory, Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, Ohio, visited here May 21-24 to investigate how big or small a pilot can be and still function in the cockpit of a U-2 Dragon Lady.
