Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although isolated examples of crashworthiness can be found in aircraft which pre-date the designs of the Wright brothers, the first crashworthiness research project was undertaken in 1942 at Cornell University Medical College. The study investigated aircraft crashes to determine the causes of injuries and supported a development program for improving crashworthy design. The aviation industry quickly applied the results of the study, and by the early 1950s, crashworthy design features were incorporated into several airplanes. However, lack of consumer interest forced many of these designs to be dropped. In the 60s and 70s, most of the crashworthiness research pertained to military helicopter design. In the 80s, the lack of crashworthiness standards were seen as one reason for the increase in product liability litigation, bringing on a renewed interest in crashworthy design. In the 90s, aircraft crashworthiness is becoming an increasingly important issue with the push towards zero-tolerance of crashes. In a single source, Aircraft Crashworthiness brings together thirty technical papers which cover the past forty years of progress in this area.These papers were selected because of their significance in the development of crashworthiness technology. Aircraft Crashworthiness will be an ideal addition to the bookshelves of aerospace design engineers, airline industry safety personnel, government administrators, and anyone interested in the impact crashworthy design has on aircraft safety.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A review of major research activities in North America with respect to the crashworthiness of composite aircraft structures was performed with the goal of identifying potential Canadian contribution to R & D areas where effort would be required to complement the on-going programs in the United States. Recommendations include a study on the effect of aircraft size on crashworthiness design requirements; the implementation of the KRASH code in Canada to establish commonality in analytical methods with major U.S. and European users; an investigation on the energy absorption capabilities of the design features for small aircraft containing composite and/or composite/hybrid structures; and a parametric study on the crashworthiness design of composite-to-composite and composite-to-metal joints.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The use of general aviation aircraft in transportation during the past decade has increased rapidly. Possibly more passengers are transported annually in general aviation aircraft than in all commercial air carriers combined. Investigations of general aviation aircraft accidents believed to be survivable indicate that the causes and types of injuries and fatalities are not different from those documented 30 to 40 years ago. However, improvements in the crashworthiness of automobiles during the past decade has been documented through a reduction of the fatality-to-injury ratios. Such improvement in general aviation aircraft crashworthiness has been sought by the National Transportation Safety Board, the Civil Aeronautics Board, and others for more than 35 years. This report reviews past accident investigations, regulatory developments, and crashworthiness research activities, and assesses the adequacy of current general aviation crashworthiness requirements. As a result of this review, recommendations for improved crashworthiness of general aviation aircraft are made.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With the deregulation of commercial airlines in 1978, the United States airline industry has changed dramatically. Route entry and exit flexibility, as well as fare setting have stimulated competition, forcing airlines to emphasize cost control, increased productivity, and effective marketing. How have these changes in both public and private policies influenced airline safety? Do airplanes have more accidents now than ever before? This work examines the causes of airplane accidents and what private and public policies are needed to improve aviation safety. It begins by examining the safety record of the United States commuter airline industry in the post-deregulation era characterized by increased emphasis by airlines on cost control and growing pressures on the air traffic control and airport system. The authors go beyond the safety of the scheduled airlines to examine the reasons for accidents in the nonscheduled and general aviation segments of the United States industry, where the bulk of fatalities occur and where airline pilots increasingly receive most of their training and experience. They then turn to an examination of aviation safety throughout the world, first with a detailed comparison of Canadian and American aviation safety, and then with a look at air safety in all regions of the world and the safety performances of all the world's major airlines. Three emerging issues are then examined in greater detail: assessing the margin of safety, worldwide aging of all airline fleets, and terrorism. Clearly written, this careful and systematic analysis of well over 15,000 individual aviation accidents will provide greater insight for government officials, aviation industrymanagers, and researchers, as well as laypeople and other frequent flyers.
