Pattern Analysis and Determination of Body Dimension for Flight Suit Design

Abstract

Abstract : The purpose of this study is to analyze the pattern of the present flight suit, to select variables of human bodyand key dimensions for making pattern of the flight suit, and to decide the most appropriate size of human body and rateof ease for designing an overall flight suit. For analyzing the pattern of flight suit, we used M95Special (men ; chest cir-cumference 92-97 cm ; height : above 177 cm), which was indicated as the standard of the Ministry of National Defense.We analyzed general appearance and the actual dimensions of the pattern of the flight suit. As a result of analyzing thepattern, flight suit was front-opened overall style which had a flat collar with rounded edges, two-pieced sleeves withlower height of the sleeve's cap, 3cm-width belt on the waist and 8 pockets. To decide the most appropriate size of humanbody, we selected 20 variables of human body in the 359 variables of the Size Korea by referring the previous studies.The 20 variables of human body were 9 circumferences (chest, waist, hip, neck, armscye, wrist, thigh, knee, and ankle),9 lengths (stature, back interscye fold, waist back, crotch height, crotch, body rise, arm, outside leg and total), and 2breadths (biacromial and chest). We drew out the size of 20 variables from the Size Korea and US Army anthropometrydata and decided the most appropriate values from the drawn data for applying to the pattern of flight suit. Key words: pattern analysis, body dimension, key dimension, flight suit
