Abstract:

The purposes of this study were to design, test, and optimize an aircrew restraint system for a forward-facing, nonejection seat for Army aircraft based on the criteria contained in Chapter 4 of USAAMRDL Technical Report 71-122, Crash Survival Design Guide, October 1971, and to prepare a proposed draft Military Specification. A literature search was conducted to determine the state of the art in restraint system development and injury potential prediction technology. The dynamics of an occupant restrained in an integrally armored crew seat were analyzed to establish restraint system performance trends as a function of pertinent variables.
