| Abstract | Three principles for high delethalization within the cockpit are given: 1.the elimination of sharp, elongated, brittle, pointed, or similarly shpaed objects within the envelope of motion of the occupant in a given location; 2.the use of a body-restraint system, consisting of a belt and shoulder harness capable of withstanding 25 g's; and 3.the provision of body-segment decelerations by the use of mirror-image sandwich material in cockpit structure. An example of a delethalized cockpit is also given |
