Abstract：Error proofing design for controls in aircraft cockpit is one of the design goals of ergonomics . Based on error proofing design methods , the differences and similarities between Boeing and Airbus aircraft are studied by analyzing questionnaire data .By analysis of variance , the reasons for the different efforts of error proofing design methods between Boeing and Airbus aircraft are further studied .The analysis is divid-ed into two parts:the degree of security support and the rate of recurrence .The effects of age , driving ex-perience , technician grade on the same error proofing method are considered .The result shows that Boeing design has a superior maneuverability and Airbus design stresses on logical protection .With the growing of age and driving experience , the frequency of operating error has different trend for different controls .The research provides a reference for the study of error proofing methods in the cockpit .
