Crashworthiness Experiment Summary Full-scale Transport Controlled Impact Demonstration Program
Author: D. Johnson
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category : Airplanes
Languages : en
Pages : 638
Book Description
On December 1, 1984, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), and the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), conducted an air-to-ground impact test demonstration with a remotely piloted jet transport category airplane. This demonstration, identified as the Full-Scale Transport Controlled Impact Demonstration (CID) Program, was the culmination of four years of effort by the two agencies. The major FAA objectives included the demonstration of antimisting fuel and a series of fire safety and structural type crashworthiness experiments. The NASA, demonstration objectives also extended to the crashworthiness experiment area. This report provides a summary of the FAA structural experiments which included an instrumented fuselage structure and an associated analytical KRASH model, on-board seat/cabin restraint and flight data recorder system installations, and a post-impact accident investigation exercise. The summary contains a description of each experiment, related pre- post-test activities, and resulting test data.

Beyond the Black Box
Author: George Bibel
Publisher: JHU Press
ISBN: 0801899893
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 420
Book Description
The black box is orange—and there are actually two of them. They house the cockpit voice recorder and the flight data recorder, instruments vital to airplane crash analyses. But accident investigators cannot rely on the black boxes alone. Beginning with the 1931 Fokker F-10A crash that killed legendary football coach Knute Rockne, this fascinating book provides a behind-the-scenes look at plane wreck investigations. Professor George Bibel shows how forensic experts, scientists, and engineers analyze factors like impact, debris, loading, fire patterns, metallurgy, fracture, crash testing, and human tolerances to determine why planes fall from the sky—and how the information gleaned from accident reconstruction is incorporated into aircraft design and operation to keep commercial aviation as safe as possible.

Seat Experiments for the Full-scale Transport Aircraft Controlled Impact Demonstration
Author: Mark R. Cannon
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category : Airplanes
Languages : en
Pages : 254
Book Description
As part of the FAA/NASA Controlled Impact Demonstration (CID) with a four-engine jet transport, 22 experimental seats have been placed on the aircraft by the contractor for the FAA. Four additional experimental seats have been directly installed by NASA and the FAA. Also, an originally installed pilot seat was included in the overall series of 27 seat experiments. Of the 22 seats installed by the contractor, 13 have been modified for the intent of improving their structural crashworthiness. These include 12 triple-occupant passenger seats and one flight attendant seat. The modification process was supported by extensive testing and analysis. Initially, identical seats were subjected to both static and dynamic destructive tests. From these tests, much was learned about the failure modes of the seat structure and the loads at which they would occur. Using these data, a design effort (supported by NASTRAN finite element models of the seats) produced methods for improving the capability of the seat structure to sustain crash loads. Prototypes of the designs were fabricated and subjected to identical static and dynamic testing sequences. Where necessary, design improvements were made and retested. Modified experimental seats were then fabricated for installation on the test aircraft.
