Happier landing for airplane survival crash victims is the purpose of the Micro-Moisture pneumatic safety cushion demonstrated by its designer, Assen Jordanoff, a pioneer aviator, on January 4, 1957. The cushion, which is being studied by military and civil aviation authorities, is installed in the back of airplane seats. By throwing a single switch, the pilot can inflate a planeful in three seconds.
