Statistical Analyses Applied to the U. S. Navy Aircrew Automated Escape Systems,

Abstract

Statistical analyses methodologies, such as analysis of variance, non-parametric tests and hypothesis tests were applied to uncover trends and dependencies of ejection-related injuries. Ejection-related fatality patterns for the A-6 aircraft were developed deterministically. The A-4, A-5, A-6, A-7, F-4, F-8 and F-9 ejection-related injuries were investigated, and parent probability density functions derived. The A-4, A-6, A-7, F-4 and F-8 contain an underlying injury trend. Fatalities occur randomly upon ejection from the A-4, A-7, F-4 and F-8 aircraft. Fatalities do not occur randomly from the A-6 aircraft. Differences were revealed among various ejection fatality scenarios: hardware hazards, aircrew judgment, environmental conditions, aircraft associated with ejections, and ejection seats used in ejection.
