If I am getting you correctly, pilot has option to manually switch on emergency oxygen supply.

What could be the reason for that F-22 fighter death then? He got late in decision making or he didn't had the one?

One suggestion - why not make the process auto i.e. if sensor sense less than adequate oxygen in cabin, switch to emergency oxygen.
ejection seat bottle can't be used for normal breathing purposes as it has just about 10 minutes of air in it. The problem with F-22 pilot was lack of alternate supply and if OBOGS malfunctions or fails, you have to descend to below 10K altitude asap.

Emergency oxygen bottles are quite small. They don't need big devices to hold. Here is an example:
But how should one know when one is feeling hypoxia or not? The emergency backup is manual activated and hence difficult to judge when to activate or not. These are for emergency needs and works only for few minutes to buy time for descent. The natural oxygen level is sufficient upto 2-3km altitude

Vstol plans to have OBOGS as well as a small cylinder as backup to avoid exactly that on his MSA.
Is Vistol a pilot? Can pilots make changes in the planes by themselves? Also, what model of plane is this stealth MSA- is it PAK-FA? Can you explain

Where can I read about this MSA? Can you give me a reference for the same?

You will have to wait quite sometime for more information.

For now:

It's an older design.

It has more stealth, range and internal payload than the F-22, with less than half its weight.
It has 1 main bay and 4 side bays. The main bays can carry 4 to 5 AAMs while the side bays can carry 4 AAMs.

Vstol may provide more details in Feb.

MSA and LSA are designs by @vstol Jockey. He is working on his own projects from sometime and waiting for a breakthrough.
Is this a joke? How can one man design a plane?

Same question everyone asks at the beginning ..
He ll give more info s at next aero india .
You can read about the evolution of thi plane at indiandefence.com ( hope details are still there )
Which was our older forum .
Now it's abandoned.
 
Have an intent to visit it in 2019.
We might meet in that case in our booth. We are working really hard to bring a trainer aircraft which will be a direct competitor to PC-7 with better performance and just a tenth of its price. A seven pax light twin helo and a twin seat attack/scout/armed recce/infantry support/ police duty and COIN helo based on the seven seater helo. All prototypes will be flying prototypes. The attack helo will be side by side seating and will have better overall protection and attack capability that LCH. The trainer aircraft will weight 850kgs, and the helos will weigh max 1800kgs with service cieling of 7km.

Working prototype? Have you already partnered with some manufacturing firm?

Great to see if that's true !! Good luck.

Yes. But time is a big constraint for us. I am forcing them for a flying test bed which in my opinion can be done and they find the schedule too tight. But it is based on my philosophy of not re-inventing the wheel and using an existing design to create something new.

You have a firm registered? If it is alright with you, care to share the name of the firm or website?
