  • Critical seat selection and validation
    Patent number: 11572176
    Abstract: A method of assessing performance of a seat is provided. The method comprises identifying a number of critical seats for testing from a layout of passenger accommodation and building a computer simulation model, following a building block approach, for each identified critical seat. A number of loads are tested on each simulation model. Critical seats are selected for physical testing from simulation model test results according to a specified criteria assessment matrix.
    Type: Grant

  • SEAT TRACK FITTINGS AND METHODS FOR INSTALLING PASSENGER SEATS IN AIRCRAFT CABINS USING SEAT TRACK FITTINGS
    Publication number: 20210394907
    Abstract: Provided are seat track fittings and methods for installing passenger seats in aircraft cabins using these seat track fittings such that the same seat can be installed on different types of seat tracks. A seat track fitting comprises a leg support, a pin, and a base interconnecting the leg support and pin. During the installation of the seat track fitting, the pin is inserted into an attachment opening of the seat track. The attachment opening is selected based on the desired position of a seat. A removable fastener then protrudes through the base of the seat track fitting and is inserted into another attachment opening of the seat track. The seat is then attached to the seat track fitting by inserting the stud end of the seat into the leg support of the seat track fitting and fixing the stud end within the leg support.
