Abstract

One of the most critical problems in the protection of aircraft occupants in a crash environment is posed by vertical acceleration levels which may exceed those that the human body can withstand without injury in a direction parallel to the vertebral column. Several recently designed aircraft have been equipped with seats that incorporate systems for the absorption of energy in vertical directions. The design of such seats is also important in the application of biomechanical safety seats in cars and buses.
