 | Despite strict flight discipline, U.S. Army aircraft infrequently suffer inflight mishaps. This is a retrospective study of aircrew survival and rescue in 97 mishaps investigated by the U.S. Army Safety Center from October 1988 to June 1990. To identify factors delaying rescue, later mishaps were compared with 37 mishaps where the time to reach the mishap site exceeded 2 hours. The average time to reach a mishap site was 2.2 ... |

|
| In severe helicopter accidents, flight helmets rotate or sometimes come off the head, triggering wearer injury. This study evaluates rotation potential for new flight helmets. Current and prototype flight helmets (SPH-4B and two versions of the HGU-56) were subjected to three tests. First, rotation was measured with up to a 50-pound upward pull at the rear edge of the helmet on a medium-size headform. Second, angular displacement was measured with ... |

|
| Designers of aircraft cockpits and aircrew equipment have long recognized the importance of accurate measurements of the flying population. The success of 3D anthropometry and its usability for design and fitting are dependent largely on the adoption of standards for digital image display, transformation, storage, and communication. Standards are required for image data obtained from surface or volummetric scanner systems, as well as reduced and analyzed data. There are hundreds ... |
