New long-range cabin mock-up enabling the simulation of flight cases my means of tempered fuselage elements

Abstract

At DLR Göttingen, a new aircraft cabin mock-up is setup up allowing to simulate thermodynamically realistic boundary conditions for investigations of different ventilation concepts at ground level. Thermal manikins, individually controllable, allow the simulation of realistic heat release and obstruction of passengers. Furthermore, the manikins will be equipped with a CO2 release system simulating the exhalation of the passengers. Latest measurement techniques for velocity field measurements, high-resolution local measurement probes and tracer gas analysis complete the data acquisition system of the new test facility, facilitating the investigation of new ventilation concepts on ground level under/for different flight phases. Finally, the mock-up is designed for subject tests allowing to validate the objective measurements with human subject questionnaires.
