PREDICTION OF BEHAVIOR IN CASE OF FORCED LANDING ON LAND AND SEA

PREVISION DU COMPORTEMENT A L'AMERRISSAGE ET A L'ATTERRISSAGE FORCE

The paper deals with catapulted free-flight models of aircraft used in the design phase of a project as a prediction tool of the crash and ditching behavior of a full-scale aircraft. Similarity laws used for the dynamics of the airframe and the structural representation are given. A typical ditching test model is described.
