Human Survival in Aircraft Emergencies
Abstract
A general study was performed to outline methods for the improvement of human survival in civilian aircraft emergencies. Survival condition criteria, accident statistics and human tolerance limits have been surveyed with respect to those aircraft used in two categories: certificated air carriers and general private aviation (including official executive aircraft) The methods presented in this report for aircraft occupant survival improvement fall into the general areas of occupant protection through seat design and occupant restraint improvement to withstand impact accelerations which are applied to the aircraft.
