Mk2 Crew Cabin Impact Tolerance


Recommended Posts

So I was designing a KAX turboprop powered Mk3 airliner and had a Mk2 Crew Cabin in the tail for "Uber-Economy" Class. After the original design's two PT-100 turboprops proved too weak to keep the aircraft flying I had to ditch it in the sea. I noticed that all of the fuselage survived except for the nosecone and the crew cabin. I checked the parts list and for some reason the crew cabin has a stupidly weak impact tolerance of 6.0 m/s. The cargo bays and inline docking port have a tolerance of 50 m/s, and the cockpits 45. Can anyone tell me why it is like this?

My main issue is just that compared to other parts that you would see along with it on a plane it is much weaker and thus isn't actually viable for aircraft that may have rough landings or something.
