Q

How does the landing gear and crashworthy seats effect vertical impacts

A

Newer Army rotary wing aircraft (UH-60/AH-64) rely heavily on fixed landing gear and seats to attenuate crash forces. Fatalities are rare for vertical impacts up to approximately 15.2 meters per second (50 ft/sec). Maximum landing loads for the UH-60 is 540 ft/min (11.25g) under normal conditions
