Synopsis

History and Development of Airline Cabin Safety offers an understanding of how cabin safety evolved over time. It covers six key areas: impact protection, fire protection, egress potential, life support equipment, information and instructions, and cabin professionals. 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 U.S., 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.
