NASA Description

In the late 1960s, NASA formed a research group in aeronautics to find practical improvements for the safety and comfort of commercial air travel. A project to devise a crash-proof seat resulted in the invention of a springy foam the inventors called "temper foam," which excelled at absorbing shock loads.
