A seat assembly includes a seat pan that is tilted automatically by way of a seat bucket moving up and down relative to a base structure. The seat bucket is pivotably coupled to a carrier. The carrier and the seat bucket each follow respective channels of a base structure. The movement of the seat bucket along the channel of the base structure causes the pivoting of the seat bucket relative to the carrier. The channels are shaped with an angular orientation resulting in the seat pan angle changing as the seat bucket moves up and down.

A kinetic seat assembly includes a primary seat cushion frame, a secondary seat cushion frame movable relative to the primary seat cushion frame, a primary seat back frame, a secondary seat back frame movable relative to the primary seat back frame, a pair of lateral dampers extending between the primary seat back frame and the secondary seat back frame, a pair of vertical dampers extending between the secondary seat back frame and the primary seat cushion frame, a pair of fluid reservoirs for providing a fluid into the pair of lateral dampers and the pair of vertical dampers, and an electronic control unit configured to control the rate at which the fluid is provided to and drawn out of each of the dampers to control a damping effect. In embodiments, an end of the lateral dampers is permitted to move freely relative to the secondary seat back frame.

The present disclosure discloses a landing aid for a parachutist, in particular for a tandem jump or landing with heavy equipment, having an air bag, which protects the parachutist during landing, wherein the air bag has an inflow opening through which air can flow into the air bag in order to fill it by means of the airstream. It is provided that the landing aid comprises a spring element, by means of which the inflow opening is held in the correct position with respect to the air flow and/or an unpacking process of the air bag is supported.

This invention pertains to aircraft seating, specifically a double-decker semi-reclining airplane seat designed to enhance passenger comfort in economy class. It comprises a front support frame, a rear support frame, a lower seat, and an upper seat. The support frames are positioned parallel and obliquely on a slide rail. The lower seat, situated between the frames, features a movable seatback and a hinged seat base. The upper seat includes a hinged seatback, seat base, and leg support, with a footrest platform hinged to the front support frame. This design optimizes limited cabin space while providing a more ergonomic seating arrangement. Evenly distributing body weight reduces pressure on the waist, hips, and legs, alleviating discomfort from prolonged sitting. Compared to traditional economy seats, this innovation offers improved reclining support, enhancing overall passenger comfort during long flights.
