Abstract
An occupant protection system for an aircraft comprising a sensor system for sensing flight condition information and a control system, which includes an impending crash detection system and an impact detection system. The impending crash detection system receives flight information from the sensors determines whether a crash is likely to occur. If an impending crash is detected, the impending crash detection system activates impact modes of a first group of aircraft systems. The impact detection system receives flight information from the sensor system and determines whether an impact has occurred or is occurring. If an impact is detected, the impact detection system activates impact modes of a second group of aircraft systems.
