Abstract: The aim of this study is to identify the anthropometric differences among Malaysian, Singaporean and Indonesian, and analyse the compatibility of the anthropometric data with the selected Boeing 737 cockpit layout. The data of 16 anthropometric dimension for Malaysian, Singaporean and Indonesian adults were analyzed, arranged according to percentiles (5th, 50th and 95th)and compared. The result of comparative analysis between anthropometric data with the selected cockpit layout dimensions showed that the 95th percentile of anthropometric dimensions of the Indonesian adult is compatible with the Boeing 737 cockpit layout. The results of this study could be used as references by the aircraft manufacturer to increase the effectiveness of the cockpit design in the future especially in considering the anthropometric data of ASEAN population.
