Abstract: One embodiment is an apparatus for inhibiting accidental contact by a human with a tail rotor connected to an empennage of an aircraft. The apparatus includes an inverted V-tail connected to an empennage of the aircraft forward of the tail rotor, the inverted V-tail stabilizer comprising a first V-tail stabilizer on a side of the empennage to which the tail rotor is connected and a second V-tail stabilizer on a side of the empennage opposite the side of the empennage to which the tail rotor is connected; and a shroud bar having a first end connected to an outboard end of the first V-tail stabilizer and a second end opposite the first end connected to the empennage aft of the tail rotor, wherein a horizontal distance from the shroud bar to the tail rotor is greater than a length of an arm of the human.

Abstract: An aircraft has a seat that has at least one of (1) a nonplanar back surface profile and a touch sensitive film display system carried by the seat and configured to conform to the nonplanar back surface profile and (2) a privacy screen selectively stowed within an interior of the seat. An aircraft has a pilot seat, a passenger seat disposed aft relative to the pilot seat, and a holographic display system configured to project a holographic image in a space between the pilot seat and the passenger seat.
