Collision

  1. Chemically inflated airbag reduced UAV impact force
    Chemical reaction airbag system for drones reduces impact forces by 66% during free-fall collisions, enabling safer autonomous UAV operations without excessive payload burden.
  2. Seatback bottoming out increased thoracic loading in rear impacts
    Case and crash-test analysis showing underride-driven rear seat pan contacting the rearward-rotating front seatback produced bottoming-out impulses that substantially amplified thoracic loading.
