    摘要: A controller using image sensors and eye tracking software tracks the position of the eyes of the pilot. The controller causes an actuator of a pilot seat to automatically adjust the seat position to the Design Eye Point (DEP). The automatic adjustment of the seat position to the design eye point reduces the workload of the pilot and ensures accurate position of the eyes within the design eye point. The reduced workload may be particularly advantageous during an emergency event.

    摘要: A singular energy absorber and an offset pilot seat including the same. The pilot seat includes a seat base, a seat bucket positioned laterally offset relative to a centerline of the seat base, a singular motion controller movably coupling the seat bucket to the seat base, wherein the singular motion controller is centered relative to the seat bucket and laterally offset relative to the seat base, and the singular energy absorber associated with the singular motion controller, the singular energy absorber operative to maintain relative positions of components of the singular motion controller during normal use of the rotorcraft pilot seat and allow relative motion between the components of the singular motion controller during a dynamic event.

    摘要: A console mounted armrest includes an adjustable post to raise and lower the armrest, and a linkage. The linkage defines the tilt of the armrest with respect to the post. A single control mechanism controls the motion of the post, and thereby also controls the tilt of the armrest to maintain a desirable orientation with respect to the sidestick. The control mechanism defines multiple positive lock-out positions with respect to the post such that the control mechanism will always engage one of the positive lock-out positions.

    摘要: A dual switch arm and mode select system for monitoring an ejection mode selection of an ejection system may include a controller. An ejection mode selector, a first arm switch assembly, a second arm switch assembly, and a display may be in communication with the controller. The controller may determine an ejection mode of the ejection system based on a signal received from the ejection mode selector. The controller may determine a position of the first arm switch assembly and a position of the second arm switch assembly. The controller may command the display to output at least one of a fault-free signal, a fault signal, or a warning signal based on the ejection mode and the positions of the first arm switch assembly and the second arm switch assembly.

    摘要: An anti-recoil assembly may include a housing, a shaft, and an energy attenuator. The housing generally defines a cavity, with the housing having a first end portion and a second end portion, according to various embodiments. The shaft may be at least partially disposed within the cavity, and the shaft may be configured to move within the cavity in a first direction from the first end portion to the second end portion. In various embodiments, the energy attenuator is disposed within the cavity at the second end portion. In response to movement of the shaft in the first direction, the energy attenuator is configured to inhibit the shaft from recoiling in a second direction opposite the first direction, according to various embodiments.

    摘要: A cabin attendant aircraft tray table may include a front section of a body, a rear section of the body, and at least one hinge coupling the front section and the rear section. The front section may be configured to actuate relative to the rear section via the at least one hinge between a stowed position, a personal electronic device (PED) position, and a tray position. The cabin attendant aircraft tray table may be stowable in a cavity defined within a frame of a cabin attendant aircraft seat assembly when the front section is in the stowed position. The front section may be held in place relative to the rear section via a mechanical assembly when the front section is in the PED position, and may be configured to receive and support a PED when the front section is in the PED position.
