• Abstract:
  Three principles for high delethalization within the cockpit are given:
  
  1.the elimination of sharp, elongated, brittle, pointed, or similarly shpaed objects within the envelope of motion of the occupant in a given location;
  
  2.the use of a body-restraint system, consisting of a belt and shoulder harness capable of withstanding 25 g's; and
  
  3.the provision of body-segment decelerations by the use of mirror-image sandwich material in cockpit structure.
  
  An example of a delethalized cockpit is also given
