U.S. F-22 fighter According to the Russian military news network reported on 17 January, the pilot in order to prevent the recurrence of the phenomenon of hypoxia, the U.S. Air Force F-22 fighter has been installed on the additional carbon filter, in order to improve the cockpit oxygen system. In addition, all F-22 Pilots must now wear a pulse oximeter to accurately monitor the pilot's oxygen saturation during the flight, to determine whether they improve the accuracy of oxygen.

According to the U.S. Defense News said, took place in November 2010 F-22 fighter pilots suspected because of the feeling of suffocation caused by the crash after the accident, the Air Force decided to temporarily grounded all F-22, to conduct a comprehensive examination .2011 in September to allow missed, the U.S. military F-22 cockpit immediately improve oxygen supply system in mid-December .2011 U.S. Air Force Special Commission of Inquiry concluded that the F-22 aircraft crashed due mainly caused by the pilot's fault, although F-22 airborne system does exist a series of technical failure after which the U.S. military continue to investigate the F-22 pilots appear hypoxia phenomenon.

U.S. Air Force and the Pentagon is not yet disclosed the results of special investigation of the specific data is expected for all of these 'special significance phenomenon' and 'physical event' analysis report will be released late January or early February, the U.S. military is particularly interested in leading to F -22 pilot hypoxia specific reasons.
