Rationale for Replacement of Pyrotechnic Signaling Devices in Survival Kits on Transport Category Aircraft Life Rafts and Slide-RaftsAIR5690A (Current)06/11/2018
This SAE Aerospace Information Report (AIR) identifies the risks and dangers associated with the carriage and use of pyrotechnic signaling devices in transport category aircraft life rafts and slide/rafts, and provides a rationale for allowing the use of alternative non-pyrotechnic devices authorized by FAA/TSO-C168. These devices offer an equivalent level of safety while eliminating flight safety risks, enhancing survivability of aircraft ditching survivors, reducing costs, eliminating dangerous goods transportation and handling issues, and reducing environmental impact of dangerous goods disposal.

Determination of Human Vertebral Force Response to +Gz Impact from exterior accelerations2006-01-233807/04/2006
Modeling and simulation of complex biomechanical systems can be developed to provide insight into the loading of otherwise immeasurable conditions. Ejection from an aircraft is a highly dynamic event with a risk of injury during the entire sequence. During one of the phases of ejection, spinal compression injury is a definite possibility and test manikins are used to asses this risk. However, care must be taken before accepting the relationship between the measured load in a manikin an the assumed load in a human. Human impact tests are often conducted to asses the biodynamics at a sub-injury level. Correlating these human biodynamics with manikin dynamics, can provide this relationship. To complete this correlation, modeling and simulation can be used to augment the available human test data so that the parameters of interest can be calculated. To this end, a rigid body dynamics model was constructed to represent a vertical impact for both humans and manikins. This model was then

Hybrid Inflatable Pressure VesselTBMG-2923404/01/2004
Figure 1 shows a prototype of a large pressure vessel under development for eventual use as a habitable module for long spaceflight (e.g., for transporting humans to Mars). The vessel is a hybrid that comprises an inflatable shell attached to a rigid central structural core. The inflatable shell is, itself, a hybrid that comprises (1) a pressure bladder restrained against expansion by (2) a web of straps made from high-strength polymeric fabrics. On Earth, pressure vessels like this could be used, for example, as portable habitats that could be set up quickly in remote locations, portable hyperbaric chambers for treatment of decompression sickness, or flotation devices for offshore platforms. In addition, some aspects of the design of the fabric straps could be adapted to such other items as lifting straps, parachute straps, and automotive safety belts.

FAA/EASA Certification, Methods of Compliance for 29.801 DitchingC1970
Certifying an aircraft, part or appliance can be a challenge. The FAA/EASA procedures can be frustrating and a maze of rules, policy and guidance. Understanding the process and procedures can provide you with a competitive edge and reduce your time obtaining a Certification approval. This course provides an overview of the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) policies, guidelines and requirements leading to Type and Supplemental Type airworthiness approvals. This course has a focus on 29.801 Ditching and EASA 29.802 Emergency Flotation.
