The present area of knowledge of the factors pertinent to the design of crashworthy aircraft seats is briefly reviewed. Ultimate design load factors, based upon human tolerance to decelerative load, and anticipated loads in accident situations for three types of aircraft, are presented. The value of energy absorbing devices for seats is also discussed.
