This five-volume document has been assembled to assist design engineers in understanding the problems associated with the development of crashworthy U.S. Army aircraft. Contained herein are not only a collection of available information and data pertinent to aircraft crashworthiness but suggested design conditions and criteria as well. The five volumes of the Aircraft Crash Survival Design Guide cover the following topics: Volume I, Design Criteria and Checklist; Volume II, Aircraft Crash Environment and Human Tolerance; Volume III, Aircraft Structural Crashworthiness; Volume IV, Aircraft Seats, Restraints, and Litters; and Volume V, Aircraft Postcrash Survival. This volume (Volume II) contains information on the aircraft crash environment, human tolerance to impact, occupant motion during a crash, human anthropometry, and crash test dummies, all of which serves as background for the design information presented in the other volumes.
