The basic aim of this study is to highlight the physical, anthropometric, and biomechanical considerations that should be taken into account in the design of the pilot seat. It also investigates the vital role of the pilot seat design in improving aviation safety. EgyptAir pilots (417 in total) were given a questionnaire survey. The study results found out that the design of the pilot seat affects pilot comfort and safety and, in turn, affects aviation safety. As well, the results concluded that pilot seat design affects positively aviation safety and its three dimensions. The study makes contribution by providing designers with the pilots' feedback, complaints, and suggestions related to the seat design with all its components with the aim of dealing with any design-related issues and handling any pilot-related side effects. This ultimate goal is to improve the seat design and enhance pilot comfort and flight safety.
The main objective of this study is to identify the concept of human engineering and its importance to shed light on the role of human engineering in the cockpit design in enhancing aviation safety. Quantitative analysis was carried out on data from (417) pilots in EgyptAir. The results revealed that human engineering in the cockpit design positively affects aviation safety. It was concluded that the application of human engineering in designing the aero plane cockpit is largely applied in EgyptAir. The study contributes to providing airlines with the pilots' feedback, complaints, and suggestions concerning the cockpit design with all its components with the aim of addressing any shortcomings to make the necessary cockpit design improvements to ensure pilot comfort and a higher aviation safety level.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
