Altberg Falcon Aircrew Pilot’s Boot (MK3)

Advanced Comfort and Protection for Fast Jet Pilots

The Altberg Falcon Aircrew Pilot’s Boots MK3 are the third generation of Altberg pilot boots, designed to offer maximum comfort, protection, and compatibility with fast jet cockpit environments. These boots are meticulously engineered to meet the demanding standards of modern aircrew, with features like enhanced lace stowage, reduced seams to prevent snagging, and a specially developed sole for optimal pedal feel.

Tested extensively through SATRA and in collaboration with BAE Systems, the Falcon MK3 boots are certified for fast jet pilots and available in three climate versions: temperate, hot, and cold.

Performance

Designed for speed, agility and control, our solutions excel under the extreme demands of fast jet flight. By reducing pilot fatigue and supporting physical resilience, we enable greater endurance in high-intensity missions, helping ensure sustained performance and mission success, even in the most challenging conditions.

Innovation

We’re shaping the future of fast jet capability through next-generation innovation. From cutting-edge material sciences to advanced G-protection system architectures, our solutions are designed to enhance pilot performance and survivability. Innovative textiles and smart integration elevate protection and efficiency, setting new standards for the cockpit and beyond.

Protection

Protection in fast jet environments demands intelligent integration. Our systems are designed to safeguard pilots against thermal extremes, high-G forces and operational hazards. From cockpit survivability to environmental resilience, every element is engineered to preserve capability when it matters most.
