After seeing first hand the eggshell strength properties
of glass cockpits when they hit objects, I have been thinking about how much protection I don't have between my spine and terra-firma. I have the astronaut foam, and otherwise it is just the seatpan and glass. I was chatting with my A+P about this while we had the seatpan out during my annual. Has anyone contemplated and/or added kevlar to their cockpits? Or is this just a nutty idea? I assume their would be a weight and balance issue, and also determining if the layup would in fact to any good. Comments? |
