International Anthropometric Variability and Its Effects on Aircraft Cockpit Design
Abstract
This paper is concerned with high performance, single seat, military aircraft cockpits and the problems encountered in accommodating them to the anthropometric requirements of foreign military users. These problems often are very difficult. Design changes invariably required to cope with any significant anthropometric differences are fraught with seemingly insurmountable economic and engineering problems. Still, malacommodation in aircraft not only produces a condition in which the product is inconvenient to operate, but one in which the user's safety and the basic mission of the aircraft can be compromised.
