NASA is well-known for sending things skyward, but some of their most critical projects involve a different direction. Testing landing gear or GPS tracker survivability is challenging to do in real-life situations since pilots aren't exactly lining up to crash their planes. That's where NASA's Landing and Impact Research Facility comes into play.
This specialized test center is equipped with cutting-edge technology to simulate aircraft crashes. NASA can then assess the effects of accidents on a wide range of vehicles, from helicopters to lunar landers and re-entry vehicles. Even the crash test dummies are outfitted with full-body sensors to determine which body parts are injured in various types of accidents.
Though it might seem wasteful to crash perfectly good aircraft, the data gathered from these simulations helps create safer planes for both civilian and military sectors. It offers valuable insights into how different aircraft sustain damage in collisions, ultimately contributing to the development of safer, more robust aviation technology.
