Session 4: Crashworthiness

• 

Objective1: To give an example of crashworthiness (passive safety)

Objective2: To show how the aeronautical technology could manage crashworthiness problems

 

Explanation:

The teaching materials will utilized to give an example of how manage a passive safety problem

Material:

Multimedia black board  +  Power Point Like Software

Photos  / Videos

Experiments

Figure 14 CIRA Crash Test

Main activities

• By  experimentation and pictures an example of passive safety problem will be shown and how it could be solved
• Student will be asked to talk about their knowledge on aeronautical passive safety

Maximum duration:

30 minutes

Main question to be asked:

• What is the impact of passive safety requirements on Air Transportation costs?
• Ask the student their opinion on how important is the passive safety requirements  in Air Transport

Developing of Activity

• Make the students to understand by a little experiment how a crash event in landing phase could be managed
• Make the students to understand how import could be to manage passive safety on Air Transportation

Results of Activity

• One way to manage passive safety is adsorbing kinetic energy by deformation of structure
• There are other problems to be solved in the case of an airplane crash
