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 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. Keywords: Crashworthiness, Crash landing, Crash resistance; Biodynamics. (kr)
