IEC Wingman

For decades, modem fighter planes have had the ability to outperform their pilots. The G-forces caused by acceleration and high-speed maneuvers have been the cause of many pilot fatalities. It stands to reason that when the machine outperforms the flesh, you get rid of the flesh. IEC, with the Wingman full body conversion, has finally enabled pilots to take their fighter to the limit. Designed to withstand even the fifteen G's pumped out by the F-36 Fire-shark cyberfighter, Wingman takes air combat to new, undreamt-of heights.

Wingman's responses are as fast as a computer—they have to be. With Al-guided missiles and hypervelocity projectiles filling the air, every micro-second counts. Along with a "greased" nervous system, the Wingman body has six interface plugs, allowing for maximum interface with any cybernetically-controlled aircraft. To further aid in dogfighting an maneuvering, an advanced gyro-stabilizer is built into the skull, preventing any dizziness due to sudden changes in orientation; very little can disturb the concentration of a Wingman. Employing specially buffered biosystems and a high-performance, high-stress blood pump, Wingman can effectively ignore problems normally associated with acceleration. Blackouts red-outs become a thing of the past.

All the reflexes in world won't help in an air war if you can't sense your environment effectively. To this end, Wingman's visual sensor suite includes everything a fighter pilot could want: flare compensation, telescopic systems, high-resolution visual enhancement and a visual marquee for heads-up information. There comes a time, however, when you have to leave your plane behind. For such contingencies, this full-body conversion includes an on-board parachute. A weapon holster and multi-purpose blade are also included for when you reach the ground, and a locator beacon ensures that the rescue team will be able to find you. Remember: any cyborg body you can walk away in is a good one.
