Description:

This dataset contains simulation input and output representing sled tests. These data are created by computer simulations. The simulations were run in 2026. It is anticipated that aircraft seat manufacturers and test laboratories will benefit from access to this data as they design and test real aircraft seats and restraints. This dataset will also provide a public record to support potential rulemaking.
