History and Development of Airline Cabin Safety
Autor Fons Schaefersen Limba Engleză Hardback – 19 mar 2025
Exploring the organic choreography of accidents, research, technological progress, rulemaking and industry response, the book clarifies that cabin safety enhancements were not well-planned but came incidentally and step by step. Each step was triggered by accidents with survivability issues, except in one area where a proactive approach proved to be first time right: oxygen for passengers. The step improvements, which mainly occurred in the United States, concentrated in three waves centered around 1950, 1970, and 1985, respectively.
The book will interest aviation regulators, aircraft manufacturers and operators, cabin safety professionals (including cabin crew), and accident investigation professionals.
