Passengers' comfort experience during flights is important in choosing their flights. The focus of this study is passengers’ perceived comfort in different climbing angles during ascent. Twenty-six participants were invited to experience three inclination angles including 3°, 14° and 18° in a Boeing 737 cabin. The angle of 3° was used to simulate cruising stage and the other two were used to simulate different climbing angles. Participants experienced each setting for 20 min where the perceived comfort, their heart rate variability(HRV), and their body contact pressure values on the backrest and seat pan were recorded with questionnaires, HRV bands and pressure mats respectively. The results indicate a preference of 14° inclination angle resembling the cruising angle (3°) and having the slowest moving speed of the center of pressure (COP) on both the backrest and seat pan.

The angle of attack (AOA) of an airplane changes the direction of the gravitational force on passengers and this thereby might influence passengers’ flying experience. However, the contribution of the AOA regarding comfort/discomfort is not fully explored. In this paper, we aim to fill this knowledge gap by identifying the relationships between the perceived comfort/discomfort of passengers and the AOA of the plane during the take-off and climbing phases of a flight. An experiment is conducted in a Boeing 737 fuselage where 26 participants were recruited. Each participant experiences 3 setups of seats with different AOAs (3, 14 and 18 degrees) for 20 minutes, respectively. Participants were asked to complete questionnaires during each session, and their heart rate and the pressure on the seat and the backrest were recorded as well. Experiment results indicated that participants experienced 14 degrees as the most comfortable angle with the lowest discomfort, which might be useful for airlines in setting up the take-off and climbing procedure. It would be good to check the findings in real flights.

An
experiment is conducted in a Boeing 737 fuselage where 10 participants were recruited. Each participant experiences 3 setups of seats with different AOAs (3, 14 and 18 degrees) for 20 minutes, respectively. Participants were asked to complete several sets of questionnaires during each session, and their heart rate and the pressure on the seat and the backrest were recorded as well. Experiment results indicated that participants experienced 14-degree as the most comfortable angle with the lowest discomfort, which might be useful for airlines in setting up the take-off and climbingprocedure.
