Development of Inflight Urination Device for Female Fighter Pilots

Source

Source summary

Develop an in-flight urination device for female fighter pilots on long sorties. The source contrasts existing male-pilot catheters with off-the-shelf female products that are incompatible with ejection-seat restraints or lack aircraft testing. It asks startups to prototype and begin aircraft-compatibility testing, addressing physiological limitations during extended flights and duty. Comfort and restraint compatibility are part of the development need, not proven attributes of an existing product.
