October 27, 200322 yr Hi all!This question comes up every once in a while, but i haven't seen a full answer yet... So: Because there are good resources about the 737 _PANEL_DIMENSIONS_ at simpits.org, lets add the other dimensions of the flightdeck that remain a dark secret in the society ;-)Add what data you can gather, and I'll sum it all up in a nice searchable thread message that can be referred to in the future.Measurements I'm interested in for the 737NG flightdeck:Height dimensions;floor <-> lower main panel:floor <-> MCP front:floor <-> front of forward overhead panel:floor <-> back if forward overhead panel:floor <-> front of aft overhead panel:floor <-> back of aft overhead panel:meaning for example that the distance:(floor <-> front of forward overhead panel) - (floor <-> MCP front) = vertical spacing between the roof and the panel.Length dimensions;firewall (in front of your toes) <-> flightdeck door:firewall <-> wall behind right pilot seat:firewall <-> back of center pedestal:firewall <-> lower part of main panel:Width dimensions;Floor;width at flightdeck door:width at circuit breaker panel behind right seat:witdh at front of the seats :witdh at main panel:Roof;width of forward overhead panel;at front, in front of landing lights etc:at front, behind landing lights etc:at the back if the panel:Angles;main panel tilt angle:CDUs and EICAS2 tilt angle:forward overhead panel tilt angle:aft overhead panel tilt angle:Depth dimensions;depth from MCP to main panel:All i can think of right now... anything else?Cheers!/ Olle

November 1, 200322 yr Olle, this info is incredible thanks way too much!!! Is there any way to get like a DXF file for the 3 view drawing? The drawing has key shapes I would like to use in building a full scale shell.Thanks,Philipo:-)
November 3, 200322 yr Cant seem to post any more files in this htread... Will post the dimensions, pdf and dxf files in a new thread./ Olle
