UH-1D AIRCREW ARMORED SEAT: CRASH SURVIVAL ANALYSES

Abstract

This report contains the results of preliminary crash survival analyses of a UH-1D helicopter aircrew armor seat. The data used in this study were developed from manufacturers' drawings, military specifications, and other sources. Further effort is required to determine the quantitative effects of the incorporation of an aircrew armor system into the existing UH-1D seat frame and restraint system. However, preliminary analyses and tests indicate that the new system, as configured, will contribute to a marginal crash survival condition for the aircrew occupants. Therefore, a program of redesign should be given serious consideration.
