A method of aircraft seat dimension design for long-term use by passengers with different body types
To improve the comfort of seat support performance, we proposed a seat dimensions design method. First, an adjustable seat was used to obtain the measurement data of user-selected comfortable seat dimensions. Second, the differences in the measurement data of different body types and riding time variables were analyzed. Third, a compromise treatment method for the different comfort requirements was developed. This method was applied to the design of passenger seats for short-distance flights in China. The lumbar support thickness was significantly different in the time variables, and the seat pan inclination and neck support height were significantly different among body types. We did not find significant differences, however, in seat height, backrest inclination, lumbar support height, or neck support thickness according to time or body type variables. There is one optimal dimension for seat height (430.5 mm), backrest inclination (104.2°), lumbar support height (98.8 mm), and neck support thickness (44.4 mm). However, seat pan inclination (5.8°, 7.2°, and 9.3°), neck support height (582.6 mm and 622.5 mm), and lumbar support thickness (40.6 mm and 48.7 mm) need multiple dimensions to meet passenger comfort requirements. This seat dimension design method provides new ideas to explore the comfort requirements of passengers and addresses the differences in comfortable seat dimension requirements for different body types and different flight durations.
