Ergonomic Assessment for Cockpit Layout of Civil Aircraft Based on Virtual Design

An ergonomic method for cockpit layout of civil aircraft based on virtual design was put forward in the paper,and an assessment was carried out through cockpit of civil aircraft X.Cockpit CATIA model of civil aircraft X was imported to ergonomic analysis software JACK and optimized.Human model,built from Chinese pilot of 5%,50%,95%,was used in cockpit ergonomic analysis,and then cockpit layout assessment was carried out through seat,rudder pedal,stick,lens hood,center console and top panel.Eventually some problems violating of rule of ergonomics were found,and some advices for improvement were also given.The method can assess cockpit layout in virtual design phase in advance,save design cost,and increase design efficiency.
