Optimal Elastic Characteristics of Ejection Seat Cushions for Safety and Comfort

Abstract

The report summarizes available data pertaining to those characteristics of aircraft seat cushions which modify the force acting on the seat occupant during headward acceleration (ejection and impact landing). This data should help to establish optimal seat cushion characteristics and to design a standard program for the evaluation of new cushions.
