Investigation of Aircrew Protection During Emergency Escape at Dynamic Pressures up to 1600 Q.

Abstract

A perspective is developed on requirements for applied biomechanical research necessary to support development of new advanced escape capability for negative static stability margin aircraft. Processes which govern potentially injurious energy transfers to and from the ejectee are enumerated. Four escape design approaches are evaluated in terms of energy transfers, protection strategies, and research requirements, including: (1) advanced open upright seat, (2) reclined open, (3) partially encapulated, and (4) encapsulated.
