The report summarizes the progress of Minicars Inc. in developing a passenger air cushion system for the Calspan RSV. The air cushion system was pyrotechnically inflated and used a mechanical knee restraint system. The performance objective of the system is to provide acceptable 45 mph performance for a broad range of occupant sizes (from the 6-yr-old child to the 50th percentile adult male) and natural sitting positions. Progress toward this objective was achieved through sled tests in which the system was gradually developed and finalized.
