Aviation safety engineering involves the study and application of principles and practices to ensure the safety of aircraft operations. This field encompasses risk assessment, accident investigation, and the design of safety systems to prevent incidents in aviation.
Crash dynamics is the study of the forces and motions involved in collisions, particularly in the context of vehicles and aircraft. Understanding crash dynamics helps engineers design safer vehicles and structures by analyzing how energy is absorbed and distributed during an impact.
