Check Out This Cool Auto-Fitting Emergency Oxygen Mask Provided to Commercial Pilots

They don't get the cheap yellow cups that we do

By Rain Noe - November 20, 2019

Last year, after seeing this photo of airplane passengers in a depressurized cabin incorrectly wearing their drop-down oxygen masks...

...we debated whether design was to blame, or not.

In any case, pilots, unsurprisingly, do not get the rinky-dink Dixie-cup masks that the passengers do. Fine by me if the pilot's mask is way more expensive--I want the guy or gal flying the plane to be able to get it on quickly and easily. Check out this fancy mask worn by Corporate Eagle pilots:

Note that the pilot can get it on one-handed, and the "Alien face-hugger" feature is pretty darn cool.

I’m a lapsed industrial designer. I was born in NYC and figured I’d die there, but a few years ago I abandoned New York to live on a farm in the countryside with my wife. We have six dogs.
