Oxygen and anti-G regulator for F-35 [ Return towards  Fighter aircrafts  ]

Ever greater reliability and flexibility 
Due to the Air Liquide regulator, the supply pressure (air, oxygen enriched air, pure oxygen) is no longer a limiting parameter. Oxygen supply is managed electronically with greater speed and accuracy than equipment of purely mechanical design. Because of electronic technology, the regulator can be easily programmed to adapt to changes in the plane’s technical specifications and in flight type.  

Ever greater safety 
Regulator performance is continuously monitored, in all flight configurations, thereby improving pilot safety, mission reliability and significantly reducing maintenance costs.

Air Liquide was selected to take part in the F-35 US military aeronautical program because it could provide equipment of unequalled performance that is always at the cutting edge of innovation. Its oxygen and anti-G regulation system, also known as the SCP (Services Connection Package) is built into the 3 versions of F-35. It employs the only electronically controlled motor-driven valve technology on the market. In addition to breathing protection and anti-G, the equipment has a part to play in radio communications and in chemical and bacteriological protection. To fulfill these functions, the SCP communicates with the plane using a data bus (FPGA: programmable logic network). The SCP regulator was qualified in 2006, and the first flight took place in December 2006.
