Crashworthy Design Principles
Abstract
The study was performed to develop design principles and techniques that will increase transport aircraft passenger and crew survivability in accidents resulting from aborted takeoffs, short landings, overshoots, wheels-up landings, or ditchings. The three primary areas of study are: (1) mechanisms of failure and energy-absorbing structure related to primary airframe structure, (2) delethalization related to occupant restraint and the prevention of injury, and (3) evacuation as affected by structural considerations.
