Safety Topics: Human Factors in the Cockpit

Abstract

RECENT discussion has focussed on the protection of military aircrew from the rigours of operating high performance, agile aircraft while at the same time expecting high mental and physical performance to meet the operational requirements of a mission. The cockpit space, seat design and availability of controls must optimise the room available and the complete protective clothing ensemble must provide free movement and not compromise effectiveness.
