The report is a Design Guide which was assembled to provide the engineer with an understanding of the basic problems associated with the development of crashworthy U. S. Army aircraft. Where possible, solutions to specific problems are indicated. In other areas, in which little design data are available, only the general philosophy appropriate to the problem solution is presented; the details of such solutions as well as the degree of crashworthiness to be achieved must be left, at present, to the ingenuity of the designer. This guide presents in a condensed form the data, design techniques, and criteria which are presently available in eight areas: (1) Aircraft Crash Kinematic and Survival Envelopes, (2) Airframe Crashworthiness Design Criteria, (3) Aircraft Seat Design Criteria (Crew and Troop/Passenger), (4) Restraint System Design Criteria (Crew, Troop/Passenger and Cargo), (5) Occupant Environment Design Criteria, (6) Aircraft Ancillary Equipment Stowage Design Criteria, (7) Emergency Escape Provisions, and (8) Postcrash Fire Design Criteria. Both airframe and component designers and manufacturers should use this guide to extend the 'region of survivability' in aircraft accidents to a maximum level. (Author)
