Structural Connection to Survival Cell

In Simple Terms

Teams cannot use extra parts to connect the survival cell (the protective cockpit structure) to the gearbox case as a structural support system. Any connection between these two components must be incidental to their main purpose and only as strong as necessary for safe operation.

• Structural connections between survival cell and gearbox case are prohibited
• Any connection must be incidental to the component's principal purpose
• Connections are only allowed if reasonably necessary for safety and reliability
• Teams cannot deliberately engineer load paths between these two structures
