Female Upper Body Dynamic Strength Requirements in High Performance Aircraft. A Selected Bibliography.
Abstract
The Presidential Commission on the Assignment of Women in the Armed Forces has expanded the role of women in the military with its new 'gender-neutral' assignment policy. NAWCADWAR is conducting a series of tests to determine 'gender neutral' dynamic strength requirements for small stature females performing operationally relevant tasks in a high performance cockpit. This report contains a bibliography of the results of a literature review conducted prior to drafting a human use test plan. It is not intended to be an extensive review of all areas in which male and female strength capabilities differ. Instead it highlights information pertinent to strength assessments in general, measurement modalities and interpretation, published male and female strength data as well as extrapolated female strength capabilities under normal and in acceleration environments and specific strength requirements associated with high performance flight under normal and emergency conditions. It also contains a list of other bibliographies which compile gender related differences in human factors and performance.
