How the FLEAT-MT Functions
|
The front single-sided section of the FLEAT-MT
is similar to the roadside FLEAT and functions the same.
Depending on the severity of the impact, the vehicle may
be stopped before reaching the second impact head at post
#4. If the end-on impact is severe enough, the vehicle
will activate the second impact head. This impact head
will then begin to slide down the rail sequentially kinking
the backside rail.

The components of the original roadside FLEAT are combined
