Abstract

Civil aircraft external service design has great impact on the maintainability and economy of civil aircraft. At the same time, it also has an important impact on the workload, operation pattern and accessibility of ground crew. Due to all above reasons, ergonomics research should be paid attention to in the design phase. This paper mainly discusses the ergonomic considerations in the layout and design of external service in the aircraft design phase, which provides some guidance for the civil aircraft external service design.
