Abstract:The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has undertaken research programs to support streamlining various facets of the seat certification process. Previous research evaluated potential methods to qualify replacement of worn seat cushions used in low G applications (Part 25 and Part 23 passenger) and better quantify variability in vertical testing. The current research focused on higher energy rotorcraft environment where seating systems have energy absorption built in to reduce an occupant’s risk of spinal injury.
