ABSTRACT:
A pressurized bulkhead or panel for an aircraft includes an energy absorbing skin that deforms in response to an object strike that imparts at least a threshold amount of impact energy to the skin. The skin may be configured as a dome or a lofted panel that is essentially free of rigid stiffeners and non-deformable reinforcement members that would otherwise hinder the flexible characteristics of the skin. The skin may be formed from a monolithic one-piece material, such as metal of composites, and may include various integrally formed reinforcing features.
