This report presents the engineering concepts and preliminary design of an integral helicopter cargo restraint system that may be incorporated in present or future helicopters. Candidate cargo restraint systems and energy absorber concepts were formulated and evaluated both qualitatively and quantitatively to meet crash survivability design objectives. A theoretical analysis of restraint fittings, cargo floor, and fuselage frame of a CH-47 helicopter was conducted to ascertain their compatibility with dynamic loads. The object of this contractual effort was to achieve a more effective cargo restraint system which would limit cargo movement in all directions by energy absorption in order to prevent injuries to crewmen or passengers in a potentially survivable crash.
