Question

What is the headroom?

(b) Height of seat

(c) Height of seat measured height of next respective seat

(d) Length of one seat plus height of seat

The question was posed to me in an internship interview.

I'd like to ask this question from Passenger Compartment topic in chapter Crew Station, Passengers, and Payload of Aircraft Design

Answer 1

The correct choice is (a) Vertical distance from the floor to the roof cover seat

For explanation I would say: Headroom is height measured from floor to roof over seat. Headroom is one of the fundamental factor which can affect overall layout of passenger cabin. A typical commercial economy class will include headroom of more than 60in.
