Crash test simulator FAA Hybrid III 50th

for aeronautical applications

The FAA Hybrid III 50M Dummy is an FTSS modification of the Hybrid III 50th percentile male automotive crash test dummy developed by General Motors, anthropometrically based on the height and weight of a 50th percentile dummy for adult American males. The design of this dummy incorporates the range of motion, centre of gravity, and weight of body parts as defined by the Society of Automotive Engineers Anthropometric Study to simulate the weight of a human subject. The weight and seat height measurements were slightly modified in the FAA dummy. The dummy was modified in the lower torso and legs to equip the dummy for testing, and in accordance with FAA regulations for an emergency landing dynamic conditions, the FAA dummy was adjusted to an upright seated position, replacing the "relaxed and slouched" state of the car dummy. The sensors were visually measured to measure spinal loading as required by aviation regulations. The dummy was manufactured in accordance with 14 CFR parts 23.562, 25.562, 27.562, and 29.562 of the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), combined with US anthropometric statistics and the product brochure for the Humanetics Hybrid III 50th FAA dummy. The geometry and mass distribution of the dummy are consistent with that of the Humanetics dummy, and critical areas are calibrated to ensure good bionic biomechanical properties. The FAA Dummy consists of six parts: Head The dummy head assembly consists of the cranial skin, skull, posterior cranium bone, posterior cranial skin and sensor mounting frame.
