Aircraft passenger safety considerations are evaluated. The advantages of providing smokehoods for passengers and an onboard tender-fed water mist spray system are considered. Cabin configuration, with special reference to seat pitch and aisle width in and around emergency exits, is considered. Safety features which might improve the egress capability of passengers after a survival accident are evaluated within an economic framework. A mathematical model, to be used to determine the effect of cost and weight of various proposed safety features, is developed.
