Comparative Anthropometry of Air Standardization Coordinating Committee Personnel for Equipment Design: Helmets

Abstract

The objective of this report is to demonstrate that the comparability of body-size distributions of aircrew personnel of Air Standardization Coordinating Committee (ASCC) member nations is such that protective equipment sized and designed to fit personnel of one member nation will fit personnel of all member nations as well. The research reported on in this publication compares the available anthropometry of the head and face of member ASCC nations, demonstrates their similarities, and tests the theoretical suitability of a Royal Aircraft Establishment (RAE) sizing program for helmets to accommodate U.S. Air Force (USAF) personnel.
