Open publisher page 3 citations

Abstract

Among the interesting papers at a recent conference was a contribution which detailed the US Army Aviation and Troop Command's Aviation Applied Technology Directorate (AATD) initiated research on cockpit air bags. Based on actual mishap data — a member of an aircrew may survive an accident with only minor injuries, whereas the gunner, for example, receives fatal injuries owing to his head flailing into the rigid telescopic sighting unit.
