Cockpit crash protection design
Andor Holtsmark wrote:
Just to clear some things up: The Antares family of gliders has been designed with a safety cell and energy absorbing nosecone. In order to facilitate this, the cockpit was extended forward at approximately zero aerodynamic loss. The whole cockpit is using a special carbon-carbon technology (no kevlar or dyneema), and was designed mainly by a F1 crash structure designer. This is really very interesting. Are there test results that you can share with us, or perhaps videos of crash tests? Is there an article on the use of carbon-carbon technology in crash structure design you can recommend? I'd like to know more about that technology. -- Eric Greenwell - Washington State, USA * Change "netto" to "net" to email me directly * "Transponders in Sailplanes" http://tinyurl.com/y739x4 * "A Guide to Self-launching Sailplane Operation" at www.motorglider.org
