The KSH-24 Oxygen Hose is designed to supply oxygen to aircrew, operating efficiently at temperatures of ±60°C. It incorporates RKP–20 material for its rubberized section to ensure resilience and reliability. Key concerns include the potential failure of the hose due to rubber deterioration, which can cause oxygen supply issues for the aircrew. With manufacturing complexity due to end fittings and the absence of a free-length hose, the aim is to establish a requirement of 50 units over five years.
