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. It includes not only a collection of available information and data pertinent to aircraft crashworthiness but suggested design conditions and criteria as well. Volume III contains information on the design of aircraft structures and structural elements for improved crash survivability. Current requirements for structural design of U.S. Army aircraft pertaining to crashworthiness are discussed. Principles for crashworthy design are presented in detail for the landing gear and fuselage subject to a range of crash conditions, including impacts that are primarily longitudinal, vertical, or lateral in nature and those that involve more complicated dynamic conditions, such as rollover. Analytical methods for evaluating structural crashworthiness are described.

This five-volume document has been assembled to assist design engineers with the development of crashworthy U.S. Army aircraft. The five volumes of the Aircraft Crash Survival Design Guide cover the following topics: Volume I - Design Criteria and Checklists; Volume II - Aircraft Crash Environment and Human Tolerance: Volume III - Aircraft Structural Crashworthiness; Volume IV - Aircraft Seats, Restraints, Litters, and Padding; Volume V - Aircraft Postcrash Survival. This volume (Volume IV) contains information on aircraft seats, litters, personnel restraint systems, and hazards in the occupant's immediate environment. Requirements for design of seats, litters, and restraint systems are discussed, as well as design principles for meeting these requirements and testing for verification that the systems perform as desired. Energy-absorbing devices for use in seat are described, as are various types of cushions. Delethalization of cockpit and cabin interiors is discussed, including the use of protective padding and the design of controls for prevention of injury. Finally, computerized methods of analysis for evaluation of seats, restraints, and the occupant's immediate environment are presented.

This five volume publication has been compiled to assist design engineers in understanding the design considerations associated with the development of crash resistant U.S. Army aircraft. A collection of available information and data pertinent to aircraft crash resistance is presented, along with suggested design conditions and criteria. The five volumes of the Aircraft Crash Survival Design Guide cover the following topics: Volume I - Design Criteria and Checklists; Volume II - Aircraft Design Crash Impact Conditions and Human Tolerance; Volume III - Aircraft Structural Crash Resistance; Volume IV - Aircraft Seats, Restraints, Litters and Cockpit/Cabin Delethalization; and Volume V - Aircraft Postcrash Survival. This volume (Volume III) contains information on the design of aircraft structures and structural elements for improved crash survivability. Current requirements for structural design of U.S. Army aircraft pertaining to crash resistance are discussed. Principles for crash-resistant design are presented in detail for the landing gear and fuselage subject to a range of crash conditions, including impacts that are primarily longitudinal, vertical or lateral in nature and those that involve more complicated dynamic conditions, such as rollover. Analytical methods for evaluating structural crash resistance are described.
