GUENEAU 316 TEST

 

 

The Gueneau (Geno) 316 was tested in different aircraft/ helicopters in the original french configuration .

​

ULMER masks, 79 N, 82 A, and 82 H, tested together with the helmet were declared as not suitable or not fit for military use (“Nicht Truppentauglich”). Rectifying the identified deficiencies possibly involving considerable expense, efforts to achieve it not put into action.

​

Based on the test performed, already in service oxygen masks could be adapted to the 316. For the school and training aircraft (DH-100/ DH-115), A-13A/ MS22001; for DH-112, Hunter and Mirage the MBU-5/P, needing only the modification of their harness for “single strap” installation.
