Flight suits and aircrew gear that spans many sizes are on display at a new exhibit that launches at the Patuxent River Naval Air Museum in Patuxent River, Maryland on Friday, Jan. 24, 2025. The new exhibit titled, Understanding Anthropometry: the Science of Human Measurement in Aviation, explores how data is used to design aircraft and gear like flight suits and helmets, and is critical to aviation safety and performance — work largely performed by Southern Maryland’s aerospace professionals at the Naval Air Warfare Center Aircraft Division which sponsors the exhibit.
