Hi,
I understand that this topic has been covered previously. However, most of those forums have been locked. Can someone please tell me what is generally the height maximum for which a pilot can fit comfortably in a fighter?
I am currently reading Endurance by former astronaut and naval aviator, Scott Kelly. He was as former F-14 pilot who spent a year on the International Space Station (ISS). He does not mention his height in the book and I was not able to find it online. However, in the book he mentions that he could barely fit in the Soyuz craft that would take him to the ISS. I did notice a picture online where he is standing next to 6'1" President Obama and looks quite short in comparison.
Are jet fighter aviation and astronautics forums that are best suited for those under 6 feet?
Thanks.
