Aircraft Crash Survival Design Guide. Volume 1. Design Criteria and Checklists.

ADA218434

Publication Date	1989
Personal Author	Zimmerman, R. E.; Merritt, N. A.
Page Count	220
Abstract	This five-volume publication has been compiled to assist design engineers in understanding the design considerations associated with the development of crash-resistant U.S. Army aircraft. A collection of available information and data pertinent to aircraft crash resistance is presented, along with suggested design conditions and criteria. The five volumes of the Aircraft Crash Survival Design Guide cover the following topics: Volume: I - Design Criteria and Checklists; Volume II - Aircraft Design Crash Impact Conditions and Human Tolerance; Volume III - Aircraft Structural Crash Resistance; Volume IV - Aircraft Seats, Restraints, Litters and Cockpit/Cabin Delethalization; and Volume V - Aircraft Postcrash Survival. This volume (Volume I) contains concise criteria drawn from Volumes II through V, supplemented by checklists intended to assist designers in implementing the criteria. Keywords: Anthropometry; Protective padding; Postcrash fire; Structural crash resistance; Restraint systems; Emergency escape; Fuel systems; Test dummies. (KR)
