Pressurization

Recommended Posts

What makes similar sized suits like a venom and x-bird pressurize so differently. It is the thickness of the actual inflated baffle, the air lock itself, the material? Shutting down an s-bird requires a decent squeeze of the legs, while shutting down a V4 requires much less effort, but they are similar in overall size. Wondering if I modify the airlocks in my V4 if ill get a big more float and a faster start on base exits, but wanted to get the wingsuit worlds opinion first.

If the start time is what you're focused on I would venture to guess it depends more on stall speed of the suit than inlet or airlock mechanics.

i have flown quite a lot of suits.. and finded out that even similar suits, same model,size... can act totally differently. pressurization can be different.. it depends still a lot which version you got. unfortunately :P
and it's not manufacturer related....
