New Concepts for Emergency Evacuation of Transport Aircraft Following Survivable Accidents

Abstract

A systems analysis and creative engineering study has resulted in descriptions and theoretical evaluations of 51 new concepts concerning hardware and procedures for improving emergency evacuation of passengers from transport category aircraft following survivable accidents. The concepts are organized into 15 major concepts which are rank ordered in terms of 12 feasibility and economic factors for purposes of selection for experimental evaluation. Requirements for experimental evaluation are presented for the first five major concepts and their specific associated detail concepts, which received the most favorable ratings.
