Abstract
Recommendations on improving the dynamic performance of shock-absorbing seats for helicopter pilots resulted from analysis of the Russian pilots' anthropometric data and helicopter 3-d attitude and position during emergency landing. The idea is to complement the existing list of impact tests with two more tests in which the impact vector will be perpendicular to the test-platform horizontal. One of these tests should be performed with a light anthropomorphic test device (Hybrid-III) representing a 5-percentile female and the other, heavy Hybrid-III representing a 95-percentile male. For horizontal impact testing, the 50-percentile male Hybrid-III should be replaced by the 95-percentile Hybrid-III.
