Advances in aircraft crashworthiness can be achieved by the development of crashworthy composite fuselage concepts. To attend the design requirements that will be established by the next generation of general aviation aircraft, the present work presents an innovative composite fuselage section concept that besides its added crashworthiness features represents a great potential for weight and manufacturing costs reduction.
