Description
Summary:As we enter the early years of the 21st century, the aerospace medicine community will face many challenges, yet at the same time, be afforded many opportunities. We face these challenges and opportunities resolutely and confidently as our predecessors have done since the birth of aviation a century ago. This White Paper is not necessarily comprehensive, but rather a brief summary of some of the major issues as seen by the contributors representing the many sub-disciplines of aerospace medicine. It is meant as a guide as we accept the challenges and realize the opportunities during the coming decades within our provinces of civil aviation, military aviation, and spaceflight.
