The liquid suite (libelle) is (or will be) used only on Luftwaffe EFs. The UK pilots use the same suite as the Raptor pilots (Combat Edge + ATAGS). It's made in UK by ML Lifeguard, a company from UK. Also the Finish pilots use them on Hornets. Some details here: http://www.sci.fi/~fta/physiolo.htm

Any idea if Combat Edge + ATAGS will be used on the F-35s as well? I suppose it makes sense that it will eventually become the new standard fighter pilot attire for the US. That is unless the F-35 program is drafting up their own even newer G-suit.

The F 35 pilots will use a modified version of the f 22 suite: http://www.codeonemagazine.com/archives/2006/articles/apr_06/front-office/index.html (click on photos for a more detailed vue)
