ABSTRACT:
A man-carrying vehicle modified with a device for alleviating accelerative forces particularly useful for space travel is provided with a personnel carrier which automatically orients its occupant, with an imaginary Z-axis parallel to the spinal column and through the centers of mass of cross sections of the body and of the head perpendicular to the Z-axis such that the Z-axis is in a position normal to the resultant of the forces of acceleration, and which rotates the occupant about the Z-axis to alleviate or counteract the effects of the forces of acceleration in the X and Y directions normal to the Z-axis.
