Description / Abstract:
In addition to those aspects of a passenger seat as comfort and
appearance, the passenger seat, whether aft, forward or side
facing, is the basic link that supports and ties the occupant to
the aircraft structure. It is essential that the support and tie
down functions be accomplished in a manner that will provide
maximum safety during all normal conditions of flight, emergency
flight maneuvers and crash landings, whether on land or water, and
that these functions are not compromised to attain the comfort and
appearance features.
