Advanced aircraft seat design : the webbing concept
… day and age that any significant improvement in seat comfort on board a commercial passenger jet is likely to affect almost everybody. A proposed design concept in this project is the use of webbing as the substitute for current foam cushioning in the seat back. The result is a webbing-foam …

Advanced aircraft seat design : solving the problem of rearward space intrusion with a sliding-out seat back
An aircraft economy-class seat that reclines via a sliding-out backrest was designed, fabricated and tested for comparison with a baseline aircraft seat. The goal was to design a seat that was at least as comfortable as the baseline seat so as to demonstrate the viability of replacing the usual …

An Investigation of the Floor Attachment Assembly of a Large Transport Aircraft Seat Subjected to Crash Dynamic Loadings
… Safety Board concluded that the passenger seat and restraint systems found in today's aircraft used by the airlines are inadequate to protect the occupant in airplane crashes. Computer models were developed of the seat-track assembly and finite element analyses were performed subjected to …

Advanced aircraft passenger seat : a qualitative and quantitative study of comfort
… was to design, build and evaluate improved aircraft passenger seats. The main focus was comfort. Two surveys were used to assess passenger needs for a more comfortable seat: in-flight activities and physical effects were the primary factors under considerations. The combination of these …
