Keywords: crashworthiness, glider cockpit, finite elements method simulation

The submitted paper describes analysis of the sailplane cockpit structure behavior during emergency landing condition. The sailplane cockpit will be modeled using the FEM application MSC. Dytran. The results are verified with quasi static and dynamic test on the full scale sailplane cockpit structure.
