The purpose of this survey was to provide a data base of anthropometric information necessary for the design and modification of cockpits, aircrew stations, ejection seats, life support equipment, and aviator flight clothing. The survey was conducted in four phases: (1) a requirements survey and development of a sampling strategy, (2) equipment development, team training, and pilot study, (3) data acquisition (body measurements) at various Naval and Marine Corps Air Stations, and (4) data analysis and reporting. A total of 108 body-size dimensions for males and 112 dimensions for females was measured on 1,087 males and 351 females. Subjects were selected to representatively sample the various subsets of flying populations (i.e., pilot, NFO, enlisted aircrewman, and females). Tabular statistical data are provided for cockpit and aircrew station geometry design applications and also for the design of aircrew-related clothing and body-mounted life support equipment.
