This Design Guide provides an aid to the design of new helicopter crew seats, the improvement of existing seats and the comparison of alternative seats. Methods of measuring seat dimensions, angles and contouring are defined. Recommendations for the dimensions, angles and contouring of the seat pan, backrest, armrests and headrest are based on the principle of matching seat dimensions to the relevant dimensions of the user population. The dimensions suggested are appropriate for British males and females aged between 19 and 45 years. The Design Guide has been formulated so that the suggested dimensions can be replaced by those appropriate to a different user population. Cushion material, cushion coverings, routing of harnessing, the positioning of seat controls, eye position, the operation of controls and ingress and egress from the seat are also considered. The Design Guide also contains recommendations for the subjective testing of seat comfort and the dynamic testing of the transmission of vibration through helicopter crew seats.
