Back in WW2 they used to have heated flight suits for the crews
of military aircraft. I imagine that they were particularly useful in the high flying bombers with huge open gun ports on the sides. I had a pair of the slippers at one time, and found that they really did work. I used a variable DC supply to power them. Originally they ran on aircraft power (28V) through a rheostat. I never tried them in an airplane, but something similar may be what you need. I have seen some battery powered socks in outdoor supply catalogs. Another approach might be chemical heat pads. I happened to look at some in the hardware store the other day. You activate them by simply opening the package and exposing the pad to the air. Finding out if they will do the job will be cheap - they only cost a dollar or so. David Johnson
