Abstract
In order to clear the factors and degree that affect the comfort experience of the aircraft cabin, and to make a reasonable strategy for improving the comfort of the aircraft cabin, the comprehensive evaluation system of the comfort in aircraft cabin is studied. An indicators system, weight system, and evaluation method for cabin comfort evaluation are proposed, and the comfort of aircraft cabins is evaluated from four aspects: the indicators of criterion layer, the indicators of attribute layer, the factors of factor layer, and the overall comfort of cabin. Based on the evaluation system, the cabin comfort of a flight was investigated, and 206 valid questionnaires were obtained. Statistical analysis of the data found that the factors and indictors influencing comfort. The comprehensive evaluation system of comfort experience in civil aircraft cabin provides quantitative reference for the selection and optimization of cabin scheme, and provides direction for the improvement of aircraft cabin comfort in future design.
