Cabin air requirements for crew comfort in military aircraft

Abstract

The Report discusses the effect of various parameters, relating to the crew and aircraft, on cabin air supply requirements for crew comfort. A method of presenting the relationships between the various parameters in the form of 'design curves' is shown. The validity of these is discussed and recommendations made where further confirmatory evidence is required. Using the 'design curves' and a computer program, the relative importance of factors influencing cabin air requirements for comfort have been examined and recommendations made on how cockpit conditions might be improved.
