Landing tests made of 1/6-scale dynamic model to determine accelerations and motions for nominal flight paths of 60 and 90° (vertical), range of contact attitudes from -25 to 30°, and vertical velocity of 12.25 fps at contact; computations made by using Newton's second law of motion and force stroke characteristics of air bag to determine accelerations for flight path of 90° and contact attitude of 0°.
