Abstract: Hydraulic axial piston unit having a rotational group for driving or being driven by a driving shaft, and a tiltable displacement element for adjusting the displacement volume of the rotational group. The rotational group includes a rotatable cylinder block in which working pistons are mounted reciprocally moveable in cylinder bores for conveying hydraulic fluid from an inlet port to an outlet port on a valve segment. At least two control ports are located on the valve segment each between the inlet port and the outlet port. The control ports can be brought sequentially in fluid connection with the cylinder bores when the cylinder block is rotating. At least one hydraulic fluid injector is connected fluidly to one control port, for sequentially injecting pressurized hydraulic fluid via the control port into the passing cylinder bores. Via the other control port hydraulic fluid can be drained from passing cylinder bores.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a lightweight aircraft passenger seat assembly (1), comprising: at least one seat shell (2) having a seat pan (21) and a seat back (22) which are rigidly connected with each other. For offering more comfort to the passengers while still providing the advantages of a minimalistic lightweight design, the lightweight aircraft passenger seat assembly (1) according to the invention further comprises a backrest portion (3) which is movable in relation to the seat shell (2).

Abstract: An aircraft seat includes a storage pocket provided on a rearward facing surface of the seat. The storage pocket includes a storage portion that is detachably mounted to the seat in order to form the storage pocket. The storage portion is formed of a flexible and/or deformable material and has a primary access opening in an upper region of the storage portion and a secondary access opening at a position below the primary opening. The primary and secondary access openings allow items to be passed into an interior enclosure of the storage pocket.
