A commuter category Beechcraft 1900C airliner was subjected to a vertical impact drop test at the FAA William J. Hughes Technical Center, Atlantic City International Airport, New Jersey. The purpose of this test was to measure the impact response of the fuselage, cabin floor, cabin furnishings (including standard and modified seats), and anthropomorphic test dummies. The test was conducted to simulate the vertical velocity component of a severe but survivable crash impact. A low-wing, 19-passenger fuselage was dropped from a height of 11 ft. 2 in. resulting in a vertical impact velocity of 26.8 ft/sec. The airframe was configured to simulate a typical flight condition, including seats (normal and experimental), simulated occupants, and cargo. For the test the wings were removed; the vertical and horizontal stabilizers were removed; the landing gear was removed; and the pilot and copilot seats were not installed. the data collected in the test and future tests will supplement the existing basis for improved seat and restraint systems for commuter category 14 Code of Federal Regulation (CFR) Part 23 airplanes.
