The entire seat structure {and 150kg occupants) are attached to, and suspended from, the forward beam secured by an impossibly small foot which locks into the floor track. And this structure has to be able to withstand not only bump compression in a crash or heavy landing, but 16G forces under tension and shear in the event of a crash. The computer analysis not only says it is possible using the proposed materials of construction, but that it can be achieved weighing less than lOkg. But no one will believe it until we can prove the theory in a new bank of concept models as shown. There is no doubt that we could not have achieved this stunning new design without the help of SEEDA and we look to SEEDA again for their continued support to raise the chance of securing an advance order. A • .l Project aims and deliverables Blue Sky will build 4 concept models to the correct material specification to validate the Stress Analysis predictions emanating from the July 2008 Research Project, now completed, both to prove the material selection predicted actually works and for demonstration to prospective clients. • Build 4 concept models for physical evaluation to validate the computer analysis • The final output will be a report on the findings.
