OBOGS is supposed to be a relatively mature technology at this point, but many military aircraft have had significant issues with it over the last decade or so, and it's interesting to see similar issues crop up in civilian aircraft. I'm kinda mind-blown that the air quality isn't monitored on passenger aircraft, because the military has been doing it for decades.
- Diesel555 6y agoOBOGS is terrible. We fly OBOGS and non OBOGS aircraft of the same type. Everytime I fly OBOGS I cough all day. Liquid Oxygen - it's great.
- scarier 6y agoIt's cool to be able to do a back-to-back comparison. I guess I've always been more worried about cabin pressurization failing than OBOGS--oxygen lights are pretty chill, but I've heard some horrifying DCS stories.
