Abstract: A monument mounted airbag system includes an airbag assembly including at least an airbag mounted directly forward of a passenger, and configured to deploy away from the passenger along an intercepting course with a predetermined path of travel of the passenger. Additionally, the airbag may be configured to substantially conform to a monument disposed in proximity thereto, and may include side support, lower support, and active vents.

Abstract: An aircraft passenger restraint and protection system including an aircraft seat mounted at an oblique angle to a direction of forward travel, a multi-point seat belt associated with the aircraft seat, and a structural mounted airbag located forward of the aircraft seat.

Abstract: The present invention discloses embodiments of an apparatus, systems and related methods for occupant protection in an aircraft during an abrupt stop - such as in a forward-facing crash event. Embodiments of the present invention disclose a two point lap belt that provide superior passenger comfort and retractability, due to inventive construction, by providing enhanced flexibility of the two point lap belt, and more specifically, the extensible (non-static) portion. The present invention first includes a new airbag material which contributes to the enhanced flexibility, namely, a polyester textile structure treated with a phosphate-phosphonate compound. In further embodiments the material is the coated in a polyurethane mixture. The present invention also includes a new method of compacting the airbag such that it may be disposed in a lap belt while remaining substantially unobtrusive and comfortable to a passenger.

Abstract: The present invention discloses embodiments of an apparatus, systems and related methods for side-facing occupant protection in an aircraft during an abrupt stop—such as in a forward-facing crash event. Embodiments of the present invention disclose a three point air belt that provide superior passenger comfort and retractability, due to inventive construction, by providing enhanced flexibility of the three-point air belt, and more specifically, the shoulder harness portion. The present invention first includes a new airbag material which contributes to the enhanced flexibility, namely, a polyester textile structure treated with a phosphate-phosphonate compound. In further embodiments the material is the coated in a polyurethane mixture. The present invention also includes a new method of compacting the airbag such that it may be disposed in a shoulder harness while remaining substantially unobtrusive and comfortable to a passenger.
