Embedded seat sensors detect touch versus press actions, enabling visually impaired passengers to operate features independently without visual cues.
- Aircraft Stowable Item UV Disinfection System
A UV radiation system sanitizes aircraft stowable items and cabin components using an automated electromagnetic source.
- Transfer Apparatus for Obstructed Aircraft Seats
A transfer apparatus bridges obstructed aircraft seats using adjustable support structures and a low-friction sliding platform.
- Helicopter Fuselage Median Floor for Modular Equipment Access
Segmenting the median floor into structural and technical layers resolves the trade-off between load-bearing integrity and rapid equipment interchangeability.
- Aircraft Floor Rail Crimped Bi-Material Assembly
Crimping corrosion-resistant and low-density floor rail parts resolves the trade-off between on-board mass and corrosion resistance.
- Movable Screen Supports Forming Partition Walls in Airplane Seats
Movable screen supports align edge-to-edge to create privacy partitions, resolving the trade-off between passenger isolation and cabin space utilization.
- Angled Base Frame Assembly for Passenger Seats
Base frame assembly supports angled seats and monuments without reducing foot space or creating trip hazards.
- Aircraft Seat Rail Assembly Using Plastic Fastening Profile
Fiber-reinforced plastic fastening profile protects titanium seat rail from corrosion while maintaining crash load strength.
- Fixed Screen Seat Display Unit Tilting Mechanism
Segmenting the projection device from the fixed screen eliminates finger pinching hazards and reduces component complexity by removing electric motors.
- Nestable Seat Unit With Auxiliary Rail Segments
Auxiliary rail segments guide foldable seat legs under fixed cushions, resolving the trade-off between installation space and compacting ease.
- Air Passenger Seat Frame with Elevated Rear Rail
Asymmetric seat frame positions rear rail 20 mm above front rail to resolve restricted legroom bottleneck.
- Low Profile Constant Force Linear Brake Assembly for Aircraft Seating
A brake assembly uses a spring-loaded lever and ramp to extend or retract a shaft for locking aircraft seat rotation.
- Vehicle Furnishing Item With Segmented Swivel Door and Flap
Segmenting the closure into a main door and vertical flap widens the passage for limited mobility without reducing cabin seating density.
- Seat Spreader Privacy Closeout for Aircraft Passenger Seating
A seat spreader mounts a privacy panel and storage structures to fill gaps between aircraft seats, resolving economy class privacy and stowage limitations.
- Aircraft Seat Load-Bearing Base Eliminates Floor Tracks
Direct seat attachment to lateral floor beams eliminates heavy tracks, reducing weight and simplifying certification.
- Redundant LRU Control for Aircraft Passenger Suite Actuation
A suite control unit manages multiple line replacement units with integral electronic control units to adjust passenger seat features.
- Pivoting Foot Well Divider for Aircraft Seat Privacy
Hinged panels pivot to separate or connect footwells, resolving the contradiction between passenger privacy and space utilization.
