An airplane emergency escape drone is shown and described. The airplane emergency escape drone includes a life support system secured within a housing with a compressed air tank that controls the amount of oxygen from an oxygen tank and air from an air tank released into the housing. The airplane emergency escape drone also includes an inflatable floatation device secured to the housing. The airplane emergency escape drone also includes propellers having safety grates underneath the propellers. The airplane emergency escape drone also includes a CPU that is in connection with a video control system that includes a video input component and a signal transmitter.

An electronic module assembly (EMA) for use in controlling one or more personal restraint systems. A programmed processor within the EMA is configured to determine when a personal restraint system associated with each seat in a vehicle should be deployed. In addition, the programmed processor is configured to perform a diagnostic self-test to determine if the EMA and the personal restraint systems are operational. In one embodiment, results of the diagnostic self-test routine are displayed on a display included on the electronic module assembly. In an alternative embodiment, the results of the diagnostic self-test routine are transmitted via a wireless transceiver to a remote device. The remote device can include a wireless interrogator or can be a remote computer system such as a cabin management computer system.

Disclosed is a modular seat for aircraft. The system has a frame that is able to be interconnected with other frames laterally. Since each lateral frame has the same pivot points (when viewed from the side), the linked seats rotate together. The seats also include buckle lugs which enable a particular seat to be used on either side of the aircraft.

An adjustable vehicle seat including a seat frame forming a seat back, the seat frame being configured to couple with an aerospace vehicle, and a seat pan coupled to the seat frame, where one or more of the seat frame and the seat pan is configured to couple the seat pan to the seat frame in one of a plurality of positions relative to the seat frame so that an eye position of a seat occupant relative to instrumentation within the aerospace vehicle is decoupled from a size of the seat occupant.

An aircraft sanitization system is disclosed. The aircraft sanitization system includes a frame and a tray that is operatively coupled to at least first two corners of the frame and is rotatable about a pivot axis. The tray is configured to be in one of a locked state and an unlocked state based on rotation about the pivot axis. In the unlocked state the tray is at an angle greater than zero with respect to the frame and in the locked state the tray is at an angle equal to zero with respect to the frame. The aircraft sanitization system further includes a set of Ultraviolet (UV) Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs) attached on an exposed surface of the frame. The set of UV LEDs is configured to sanitize the tray when the tray is in the locked state.

An aircraft sanitization system is disclosed. The aircraft sanitization system includes an armrest comprising a pocket, a top lid, and a retractable mechanism. The pocket is configured to store a tray and the top lid is covers the pocket. The retractable mechanism enclosed in the pocket includes a first end removably attached to the tray and a second end fixed within the pocket. The retractable mechanism is configured to extract the tray from the pocket in an open state and retract the tray into the pocket in a closed state. The aircraft sanitization system further includes a first set of Ultraviolet (UV) Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs) affixed on each inner wall of the pocket. The first set of UV LEDs is configured to sanitize each surface of tray, when the tray is in the closed state.

Seat belts, seat belt assemblies, seat belt systems, and methods for incorporating the seat belts, seat belt assemblies, and seat belt assembly systems are disclosed, with the seat belt including a seat belt locking mechanism sensor that, in tandem with a seat belt thermal sensor provides confirmatory information as to a definitive locking condition or locking state of a seat belt.

A safety system includes a safety response device positioned proximal to an aircraft seat. The safety response device is operable to deploy thereby controlling the leg extension condition of legs of an occupant of the aircraft seat. A triggering system is operable to activate the safety response device when a deceleration is detected. The safety response device can be operable to maintain the legs of a seated occupant in an un-extended condition thereby protecting the legs from extending when a rapid deceleration occurs. The safety response device can be operable to transition the legs of a seated occupant from an un-extended condition to an extended condition at a predetermined rate. The safety response device can be, for example, and airbag or a kick plate. The device may automatically return to a stowed condition a predetermined time after deployment to permit egress from the seat and aircraft.

A standee transit pod having a padded backrest supported by a vertically reclined roll bar and a rear brace bar. The backrest is reclined from vertical by about 8 degrees over a range of 5 to 15 degrees. Additionally there is a safety restraint apparatus for a standee, a platform, a lower rear portion of the brace, which is attached proximate to a mid rear edge of the platform therein providing a right rear open space and a left rear open space on the platform. Where, in a row of transit pods, every other transit pod is staggered rearward about half a length of the platform, therein creating adjoining right rear open spaces and left rear open spaces with the adjacent transit pods, therein providing an aisle for a passenger to walk past the row of the plurality of transit pods.

An aircraft sanitization system is disclosed. The aircraft sanitization system includes a frame. The aircraft sanitization system further includes a tray operatively coupled to at least first two corners of the frame and is rotatable about a pivot axis. The tray is configured to be in one of a locked state and an unlocked state based on rotation about the pivot axis. In the unlocked state the tray is at an angle greater than zero with respect to the frame and in the locked state the tray is at an angle equal to zero with respect to the frame. The aircraft sanitization system further includes a set of Ultraviolet (UV) Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs) attached on an exposed surface of the frame, wherein the set of UV LEDs is configured to sanitize the tray when the tray is in the locked state.
