Summary Statistics and HGU-55/P Feature Envelopes for the 1990 USAF Anthropometric Survey

Abstract

This report describes an anthropometric survey of 365 USAF flyers conducted in 1990 at four military bases, including Ellsworth AFB, South Dakota; Randolph AFB, Texas; Eglin AFB, Florida; and Hurlburt Field, Florida. The survey included both traditional measurement data on the whole body, such as stature and thumbtip-reach, and three-dimensional (3-D) anthropometry acquired on the head and face. Surface scans of the flyers with and without their helmets were acquired to provide a database for cranio-facial design applications. The scans were used to establish feature envelopes for the HGU-55/P helmet. This report documents the 3-D relationship between anatomical features and equipment for a population of USAF flyers wearing the HGU-55/P helmet.
