Analysis of thermal comfort on planes
Journal of Physics: Conference Series, 2022 Abstract Thermal comfort of passengers and cabin crew is an important element to be ensured during short and long distance flights. The analysis of this phenomenon is usually conducted based on the measurements of physical parameters of the inside air and factors such as metabolic rate and thermal insulation of clothes.
