| Summary: | International Telemetering Conference Proceedings / October 22-25, 1984 / Riviera Hotel, Las Vegas, Nevada === The Full Scale Controlled Impact Demonstration (CID) program is a joint NASA/FAA
effort to test improvements in aircraft crashworthiness. Specifically, a transport aircraft
was modified to be remotely piloted by telemetry control and flown into a “survivable”
crash. On board was a fuel cargo of anti-misting kerosene (AMK) to inhibit post crash
fires. Also, various measurements were made to examine crash structural response, and
improvements in new seat and restraint design using instrumented anthropomorphic
dummies. Mechanization of the remote uplink telemetry command system and the
downlink data systems is described. |
