Aircrew Vision Requirements: bomber_transport
Minimum external vision angle requirements from the pilot's design eye position per MIL-STD-850B (3 November 1970). Covers all military aircraft types — fighter/attack (single/tandem and side-by-side), bomber/transport, ASW/patrol, helicopter (side-by-side and single/tandem), V/STOL, and trainer. Vision angles (degrees down and up from horizontal) are specified at discrete azimuth positions (0–135 deg) and are mandatory minimums; values between specified azimuths increase progressively. Also encodes structural post/frame width limits (projected inches) as constraint records. Reference angles are measured from the pilot's horizontal vision plane relative to the aircraft longitudinal fuselage reference line; azimuth zero is straight ahead. Symmetry note: side-by-side requirements for the pilot apply to the copilot with azimuths reversed (per 4.1.4). 43 records.
| aircraft type | record id | azimuth deg (deg) | azimuth side | mil std ref | min vision down deg (deg) | min vision up deg (deg) | notes | pilot position | seating config |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| bomber_transport | bomber_sbs_fwd_az000_030 | 15 | left | MIL-STD-850B Sec 6.1(a)(1) | 17 | 20 | At 0 through 30 deg left azimuth (also applicable to copilot right azimuth by symmetry per 4.1.4) | forward | side_by_side |
| bomber_transport | bomber_sbs_fwd_az070_110 | 90 | left | MIL-STD-850B Sec 6.1(a)(3) | 35 | 40 | At all points between 70 and 110 deg left azimuth | forward | side_by_side |
