However, the combination of strict safety regulations, limited space, and a large variation in passenger body types make aircraft cabins challenging environments to create comfort. The studies presented in this PhD thesis focus on different aspects of comfort experience in air travel and are aimed to be helpful for aircraft interior designers, as well as airlines to have creative design solutions for inflight comfort issues in the future...
