Ergonomical Analysis Of Pilot Seat KM-1

The aim of this study was ergonomical analysis of pilot seat KM-1 which takes place in MIG 21 aircraft. Seat KM-1 is ejection seat with function of accommodation of pilot in cockpit during normal flying task and safe escape in danger situation. We made measurements of characteristic dimensions of seat and comparison with anthropomeasures of Croatian male population for purpose of investigation of whatever range of pilot sizes the seat is designed to accommodate. We have analysed seat?s ergonomic qualities: pilot comfort, efficiency and safety. The three-dimensional digital human modelling can be proposed as a tool for the seat and area of cockpit design.
