Vibrational problems in aircraft are of great importance for the comfort and well-being of occupants. In this work, a preliminary experimental campaign is carried out using a full flight simulator to obtain measurements of the acceleration transmitted from the seat to the passengers during some selected flight segments. It considers the take-off including the initial climb, the final approach including the touchdown, and two cruise segments with and without turbulence effects. Specifically for the cruise phase, the power spectral density calculated from the seat surface accelerations was compared with literature and real flight data to verify the simulator’s capability. The comfort indexes are calculated according to the current ISO 2631 standard for characterizing the effects of vibrations. Two types of seat configurations are studied. The results conclude that the evaluation of comfort indexes in an advanced simulated environment, not merely based on objective data, can contribute to the research of new comfortable scenarios inside the cabin.
