AB - Abstract In the development of safety harness from its earliest stages to the present complex systems in current aircraft, a number of important strides have been made and these are briefly reviewed. The main advances have been in the provision of shoulder harness, the recognition of the need for attachment to the airframe rather than the seat, the design of harness such that the centre of gravity of the body is not lower than the junction point of the straps, and the construction of harness such that it will withstand the forces encountered in very severe impacts. The three principal aims of harness in aircraft are to provide restraint during various in-flight manoeuvres, to provide retention during crash decelerations and to maintain optimum body positioning during operation of the ejection seat. The relevance of the features of current harness to the requirements for safety belts for motor vehicles is briefly discussed. This content is only available as a PDF.
