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: A lightweight aircraft passenger seat assembly comprises at least one seat portion and at least one supporting portion for supporting the at least one seat portion relative to an aircraft structure. In order to provide an improved lightweight aircraft passenger seat assembly having a reduced weight, size and complexity as compared to conventional lightweight passenger seat designs, the invention provides a lightweight aircraft passenger seat assembly, comprising at least one seat portion with at least one seat shell for an aircraft passenger and at least one supporting portion for supporting the at least one seat portion relative to an aircraft structure, wherein the at least one seat shell and the at least one supporting portion are constructed as lightweight components.
