Please, cease your agreeable at the back, ladies, and barbecue your eyes on the AMXD, aka the "piddle pack." Developed by a Vermont firm, the trunks accept a congenital corrupt and pump (stop boasting, I've heard it all before) which allows fighter pilots to abate themselves during missions. Until the AMXD, or Advanced Mission Extender Device, came along, the fliers had three options open: diapers; accumulate it all in, causing abeyant float damage; or let it all out, active the accident of debilitating headaches—or even abolition the plane. More below.
The piddle backpack corrupt is affiliated to a album book-sized pump that drains the wearer's wee into a accumulating bag. With both macho and changeable models (a accessory for the boys, a germ-free anhydrate for the girls) it could beggarly that the USAF's planes are safer. Mid-air accidents accept occurred, consistent in at atomic two crashes as F-16 pilots unbuckled to yield a leak.
The AMXD costs about $2,000 from Omni Medical Systems, and it's account accepting a shufti through the apprenticeship manual, as it's alluring stuff. [Omni Medical Systems via Wired]
