The Relationship of Space Experience and Human Anthropometric Sizes in Aircraft Seat Pitch

The effect of aircraft seat pitch on comfort

“…Questionnaire items for space experience were gathered from studies of Kremser et al (2012), and Menegon et al (2017). These questions on space experience shown in Table 1 (Anjani et al, 2019) were included to learn more on the psychological effect of seat pitch on (dis)comfort. Only questions related to seat pitches are included in this study.…”

“…These measurements were compared to the anthropometric measurements of the Dutch students (Molenbroek et al, 2017) and it was found that both measurements were similar (Anjani et al, 2019). Molenbroek et al (2017) found the anthropometric measurements in the last 30 years did not change much, except for hip-width.…”

“…Kremser et al (2012) found the influence of seat pitch to passenger well-being. "Space experience" a psychological factor on comfort related to seat distances was found to be related to human anthropometry (Anjani et al, 2019). There are different causes of comfort, such as psychological (Ahmadpour et al, 2016), physiological (De Looze et al, 2003Zhao et al, 2020) and emotional causes (Bazley et al, 2015).…”
