From Summary: "Data from full-scale experimental airplane crashes were studied to determine how impact injuries occur and how the chance of such injuries may be reduced. The following hazards were considered: (1) being crushed, (2) being struck by missiles, (3) striking objects by tearing loose or flailing about, and (4) being injured by the crash decelerations. Transport, cargo, fighter, and light airplane crashes were studied."

National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics Collection
The National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics (NACA) was a U.S. federal agency founded on March 3, 1915 to undertake, promote, and institutionalize aeronautical research. On October 1, 1958 the agency was dissolved, and its assets and personnel transferred to the newly created National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA).
This selection of materials from the Technical Report Archive and Image Library (TRAIL) includes hard-to-find reports published by various government agencies. The technical publications contain reports, images, and technical descriptions of research performed for U.S. government agencies. Topics range from mining, desalination, and radiation to broader physics, biology, and chemistry studies. Some reports include maps, foldouts, blueprints, and other oversize materials.
