1 Design philosophy and requirements for airframe crash resistance 

The design of safe, crashworthy subfloor structures is dependent on crash severity and what is considered to be a survivable crash. For large civil transport aircraft, crash-worthiness requirements are set out in CFR and CS paragraphs 25.561, 25.562, [3,4], 

Box-beam frame members (High bending ar d compression strength) 

Composite stmctural elements have been shown to be capable of high specific energy absorption (SEA) under crash loads through appropriate design and initiation of
