Passenger Seats for Aircraft: A Survey of the Considerations to be Borne in Mind in Designing Furniture for Maximum Safety and Comfort

Abstract

THE passenger seat in civil aircraft is an important piece of equipment. It is important, firstly because it is the one part of the aircraft with which the passenger is in intimate contact and, secondly, because of the bulk and multiplicity of installation in any aircraft, the aggregate weight constitutes a major portion of equipment weight.
