Abstract
An experimental investigation was made of the location and spatial requirements of salient anatomical features of the human operator of a high-performance air weapon system when simulating the use of an escape capsule type of emergency abandonment system.
Twenty-four subjects representative of the Air Force flying population were measured using a new system of anthropometric assessment which employs a nonstereographic photogrammetric treatment requiring two to three ordinary 8 in. × 10 in. view cameras together with adequate stroboscopic illumination.
Data on the x, y, and z co-ordinates of sixteen anatomical features of the operators when positioned in six body attitudes representative of the escape system's use are presented in the form of figures.
