One-of-a-kind machine to treat airsickness

To help student pilots combat airsickness when conventional methods failed, the Royal Canadian Air Force will put them through an Air Motion Sickness Desensitization Program (AMSDP) that uses a spin chamber to desensitize airsick aircrew.

The spin chamber is a single-axis, bi-directional, lightproof, enclosed cabin rotating between 4 to 20 revolutions per minute.

The idea is to suppress hypersensitivity to air sickness using repeated and controlled exposure to movement in order to encourage adaptation.
