The U.S. Navy initiated a tri-service effort in 1994 to agree on a population data set representative of the future Department of Defense aviator pool, map current Naval aircraft crew stations, and standardize methods to evaluate crew member accommodation. The Joint Primary Aircraft Training System (JPATS) is specified to accommodate a much wider range of pilot body sizes than any other aircraft in USN/USAF history. Based on the jointly-selected JPATS population, the USN anticipated a concern for this expanded range of pilots to safely fly subsequent aircraft and a need to reengineer those aircraft to better meet a Congressional mandate for female accommodation.
