The Strength of Occupant Restraint Systems in Light Aircraft - An Experimental Evaluation.
Abstract
The cabins and restraint systems of three cyclone-damaged light aircraft were tested statically to determine the strength of the restraint system in the cabin. It was found that most restraint components were much stronger than demanded by the 9 g requirement and it was considered that only minor improvements would be needed to ensure 25 g capability. Seats were not as strong as the restraints and their behaviour under crash load conditions requires further investigation. (Author)
