HM-15 delivers aid to Sabang on the island of Sumatra following the 2004 Indian Ocean earthquake / Tsunami. HM-15 aircraft ferry water from the offshore flotilla, 15 January in support of relief operation after the 2010 Haiti earthquake. HM-15 is the first U.S. Navy squadron to combine and consolidate training requirements between the USN and ...
A HIC-15 (meaning a measure of impact over 15 milliseconds) of 700 is estimated to represent a 5 percent risk of a severe injury (Mertz et al., 1997). A "severe" injury is one with a score of 4+ on the Abbreviated Injury Scale (AIS) [6] Data for specific vehicles can be found on various automotive review websites.
Different criteria are used to figure out how safe a structure is in a crash, depending on the type of impact and the vehicle involved. Crashworthiness may be assessed either prospectively, using computer models (e.g., RADIOSS , LS-DYNA , PAM-CRASH , MSC Dytran , MADYMO ) or experiments, or retrospectively, by analyzing crash outcomes.
Speed at which exceeding the limit load factor may cause permanent deformation of the aircraft structure. [7] [8] [9] [24] V O: Maximum operating maneuvering speed. [25] V R: Rotation speed. The speed at which the pilot begins to apply control inputs to cause the aircraft nose to pitch up, after which it will leave the ground. [7] [26] [Note 1 ...

The H/V curve also contains a take-off profile, indicating how a pilot can start from 0 height and 0 speed, and safely traverse to cruise. At low heights with low airspeed, such as a hover taxi, the pilot can simply cushion the landing with collective by converting rotational inertia into lift. Conversely, a complete power loss, and resultant ...
The first crash involving a Bell-Boeing Osprey occurs when the fifth MV-22, BuNo 163915, three minutes into its maiden flight at a Boeing flight test facility at Wilmington, Delaware, suffers problems with the gyros due to incorrect wiring in the flight-control system [55] and crashes into the ground from a 15-foot (4.6 metre) hover during an ...
