In the past, aircraft were designed with high structural integrity such that crash situations can be avoided, i.e., aircraft were designed for crash avoidance and not crashworthiness. There is considerable effort now being devoted to the study of aircraft crashworthiness. Clearly, it is only in relatively low speed impacts that design considerations may be effective. In this area, H.W. Structures, LTD and the automotive environment in general have built up a wealth of experience. How this experience may be applied to aircraft structures is discussed. Analytical techniques for prediction of the behavior of the structure and its occupants are examined.
