The VK-3M is a one piece suit designed to regulate a pilot's temperature as the aircraft travels over a variety of environments.
Manufacturer: USSRTemperature: -50 to +50CDuration of Protection: 60-90 minutes at temperature extremes
It performs this task by venting warm or cool air through a number of air ducts that permeate the suit. For this reason it is called a вентилирующий костюм or ventilating suit. The range of temperatures which the suit is effective can be seen in the table at right.
Unlike other flight suits, the VK-3M is not worn on its own, but over other types of flight suits. This is most commonly done in conjunction with the various VKK pressure suits which have no form of temperature regulation.
The VK-3M is made out of a lightweight material and both rugged and comfortable to wear. Donning the suit is done by stepping into the trouser portion then pulling the suit up over the shoulders. The main zipper is then pulled up which secure the suit.
Once the pilot enters the aircraft, the hoses on the left side of the suit are plugged into the plane's environmental system, which pumps air into it to keep the pilot comfortable. There is also a large opening near the waist which is used when it is worn over a pressure suit equipped with hoses. This gap allows the inner suit's hoses to be attached to the aircraft without interference.VK-3m suits are marked on the inside near the zipper on the right shoulder. The label typically has three lines. The first of which lists the name of the suit (in this case VK-3M). The second line lists the serial number of the particular suit. While the final line lists the size of the suit.
