CRASHWORTHY DESIGN PRINCIPLES

摘要

This study provides a crashworthy design guide that will improve survivability in moderate to severe crash landings. The objectives of a crashworthy design are: (1) to retain an inhabitable shell around the occupants, (2) to keep the occupants restrained by their seats and the seats attached to the airframe structure, (3) to prevent injury due to local impact, and (4) to ensure means of rapid evacuation.
