/ What is a "rigger tank"?

He might be referring to a system where the pilot's "cockpit" is filled
with fluid. The theory is that this will increase the number of Gs that a
pilot can take. As the G forces press on his body they also press on the
surrounding fluid, which presses on the surface of his body evenly, keeping
blood from pooling. In theory it's supposed to work great.
