An Anthropometric Survey of 200 R.A.F. and R.N. Aircrew and the Application of the Data to Garment Size Rolls

Abstract

An anthropometric survey of limited scope was undertaken in October and November 1966, involving 200 Royal Air Force and Royal Navy aircrew. The 44 measurements taken on each subject were mainly those used in the drafting of patterns for the R.A.E. experimental range of aircrew functional garments. The acquired data have been tabulated and presented in a form primarily suitable for functional clothing sizing purposes. Tables and graphs are also included which give the data in a form suitable for use in aircrew work-space studies etc. Comparisons are made between specimen garment size-rolls for the 200 subjects based on chest girth/torso hoop, chest girth/stature and weight/stature as control parameters. From the experience gained during this survey, suggestions are made regarding measuring techniques and procedures.
