A Comparison of RAF and Italian Aircrew Anthropometric Data.

Abstract

In view of proposed Anglo-Italian aircraft projects such as WG 34, 47 anthropometric measurements common to two population surveys have been compared. Means and standard deviations have been taken from Hertzberg's anthropometric survey of Italian pilots and from the survey of 2000 RAF aircrew. The figures generally show that the Italian pilots have similar body and limb circumferences as the RAF aircrew. The Italian linear dimensions are, however, considerably less than those of the RAF aircrew. These differences need to be taken into account when designing cockpit and rear cabin workstations.
