RESEARCH ON THE MULTI-FACTOR EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN METHOD FOR CABIN ENVIRONMENT

With the popularity of travelling by airplane, the research on the civil aircraft cabin environment has become significantly important. Several researches have been performed on the cabin environment. The civil aircraft cabin environment is usually affected by various environmental factors, including temperature, relative humidity, and pressure. Currently, there are few multi-factor experimental researches on the cabin environment. In this paper, a multi-factor experimental design method for civil aircraft cabin environment is presented and the experimental conditions in this experiment are given by -optimal design method. The influences of various factors on the environmental comfort are analysed by investigating the mean passenger thermal sensations.
