This paper discusses the transfer of engineering analytical technology between the automobile and aerospace industries. The role of predictive analysis within both industries is addressed, with a particular emphasis on secondary safety. The use of non linear computer analysis techniques is discussed with particular reference to an accident involving a Boeing 737-400 in the UK in 1989. The accident resulted in the author's organisation performing correlated injury studies by occupant kinematic analysis, which are described in outline.
