ISTR that the US Congress mandated that future US aircraft would be designed and certificated for 1%ile female to 99%ile male. This occurred long enough ago to establish the JSF basic design requirements. As regards Typhoon, I believe it was designed for a 5 to 95 %ile range. This wasn't as restrictive as it might at first appear as it was based on data that were created from a combination of the datasets from each of the 4 original Nations. I've no idea how this compares to the US approach.
