Experimental Study on Color Selection of Bomber Cockpit
Objective To study the color requirements of bomber pilots on aircraft cockpits,and to provide the color design solution based on visual ergonomics,so as to provide the basis for the interior decoration color design of bomber cockpits.Methods The test subjects were 151 bomber pilots with an average age of 26-40 years.Alterna-tive colors of cockpit bulkhead and main control equipment were selected and arranged,and their favorite colors were selected for comparison test.Results(1)Pilots rank the light color system of cabin bulkhead decoration from high to low in order of suitability:E,B,D,F,C,A,J,I,H,G,K,L;(2)The suitability of the dark color system for cockpit control equipment decoration by pilots from high to low is as follows:E',H',F',A',C',B',D',G',I',J',K',L';(3)Pilots had different degrees of choice for 12 colors in each of the dark and light color systems,with statistical signifi-cance(P<0.001);(4)The color preferred by pilots in daily life had no significant influence on the selection result(P>0.05).Conclusion(1)Pilots'choice of bomber interior color is not affected by daily color preference;(2)In the light color system,the most suitable colors for bombing engine room wall are E(FS36463),B(FS36495),followed by D(FS36628),F(FS36492);(3)Among the dark colors,E'(FS36173)and H'(FS36176)are the most suitable colors for bomber control equipment,followed by F'(FS36152)and A'(FS36118).
