In aircraft design and aviation, “Cabin OA” typically refers to “Cabin Overhead Area.” It represents the available space or area in the cabin of an aircraft above the passengers’ seats and headrests. The Cabin Overhead Area is an important consideration in aircraft interior design, especially for passenger comfort and cabin layout planning.
Formula for Cabin OA (Cabin Overhead Area): The formula for calculating Cabin OA involves measuring the available overhead space in the cabin. It can be expressed as:
- Cabin OA: Cabin Overhead Area, typically measured in square meters (m²) or square feet (ft²).Length: The length of the cabin area being considered, measured in meters (m) or feet (ft).
- Width: The width of the cabin area, typically perpendicular to the length, measured in meters (m) or feet (ft).
- Height: The vertical distance from the passenger seats to the cabin ceiling, measured in meters (m) or feet (ft)
