Aircraft Crash Survival Design Guide: Volume III - Aircraft Structural Crash Resistance

By U.S. Army Aviation Systems Command

Aircraft Crash Survival Design Guide Volume III - Aircraft Structural Crash Resistance FINAL REPORT - December 1989 This revised edition of the Aircraft Crash Survival Design Guide was prepared to assist those design engineers responsible for the incorporation of crashworthiness into the design of helicopters, light fixed-wing aircraft, and tilt rotor aircraft. Also, this guide may be used in the evaluation of the level of crashworthiness design available in the various types of aircraft. 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. Volume V contains information on the aircraft postcrash environment and design techniques that can be used to reduce postcrash hazards. Topics include the postcrash fire environment, crashworthy fuel systems, ignition source control, fire behavior of interior materials, ditching survival, emergency escape, and crash locator beacons. This is Volume 3 of 5.
