WSU-NIAR AVET Full-scale Fuselage Drop Test

On Oct. 29, 2021, the National Institute for Aviation Research (NIAR) at Wichita State University conducted a unique full-scale fuselage drop test, its first in the new Jerry Moran Center for Advanced Virtual Engineering and Testing (AVET). The test, part of an ongoing 15-year FAA-sponsored research program titled Crashworthiness Certification of Composite and Metallic Aircraft Structures, involved dropping an aircraft fuselage equipped with three post-mortem human passengers (PMHS) to validate AVET’s virtual engineering models of the same test set-up. The test was led by Gerardo Olivares, NIAR senior research scientist and director of Crash Dynamics and Virtual Engineering and Flight. It also involved collaboration with the Injury Biomechanics Research Center at Ohio State University, led by director John Bolte. The Ohio State team provided support and expertise in testing the PMHS.
