Abstract
All of Chinese male taikonaut candidates came from China Air Force pilots aged 25–35 years. The stature is ranged from 160 to 172 cm in medical selection while the upper limit may be shifted from 172 to 175 cm. The maximum stature is becoming one of the main constraints on taikonaut product design. The anthropometric data of Chinese male pilots with 175 cm stature was re-analyzed in comparison with that of pilots with 172 cm stature in the present paper, based on the databank of GJB4856-2003. The mean, stddev, and the 5th, 50th, 95th percentiles for the subsample were reported in 67 fundamental items according to GJB4856-2003 in statistics. The effects of bigger stature on production design were discussed.
