The Cockpit Geometry Evaluation (CGE) Program is developing improved methods of evaluating the interaction and compatibility of crew members with crew stations. The main feature is a computer program system (CGECPS) containing a 23-joint, three-dimensional man-model (BOEMAN) which can mathematically simulate human motion. During Phase II-A, an existing cockpit design (A-7E) was partially evaluated by the CGECPS. The results were compared with human factors data and the CGE system correctly analyzed more than 80% of the tasks performed. The validation of the man-model joint movement parameters was also continued in Phase II-A by comparing them with human movement parameters. The comparison results indicated that the Phase II-A man-model developments which were primarily oriented towards improving the computer efficiency of the man-model have also improved the accuracy of the man-model.
