Dynamic Crash Test

16G CS-25 / FAR-25

Automatic spring-return holds an unoccupied seat upright.

PATENTED COUPLED MOTION

Patented Kinematics & Coupled Glide

Two composite frames are inserted under the original seat pan. The backrest / seat pan motion is mechanically coupled: no motorization, only 3 moving sub-parts, 16G CS-25.562 retention maintained in all four positions.

  • 16G RETENTION ACTIVE

Seat pan travel amplified for clarity. Rear footprint measured against the certified seat-pitch envelope of the preceding row.

2 composite frames

Two pre-printed carbon frames are inserted under the original seat pan. No rework to the seat structure, no drilling, no seat pan removal.

3 moving sub-parts, 0 motors

Front frame, rear frame, return cam. Three moving parts, purely passive transmission, spring return to the sitting position.

0 W, 0 electronics

No power supply, no sensor, no aircraft wiring. 100% mechanical operation, on the ground and in flight, with no EMC impact.

INTERACTIVE 3D MASS MODEL

Kinematics in Three Dimensions

The same four certified positions, rendered as a real 3D solid model you can orbit. Two composite frames are inserted under the original seat pan, the backrest and seat pan motion is mechanically coupled, and only three sub-parts move: no motor, 0 W, spring return to upright.

Interactive 3D passenger position viewer

Kinematic position selection
Seat kinematics - schematic side view Simplified fallback schematic, not to scale. It is shown until the 3D model is loaded, and replaces it if the 3D renderer cannot start. The backrest, the seat pan and the passenger follow the selected position. 0°

Interactive 3D model region. Focus the model, then use the arrow keys to rotate it, plus and minus to zoom, and zero to reset the camera. The same commands are also available as buttons below the model, and the position selector above changes the kinematic state.

The 3D model loads on its own when this section scrolls into view. Seat pan travel is amplified for clarity.

Solid model of the seat, its two composite frames, the passenger mass and the seat-back IFE screen. The rear envelope annotation is drawn in Sleep Mode only. Seat pan travel is amplified for clarity.

2 composite frames

Two pre-printed carbon frames are inserted under the original seat pan. No rework to the seat structure, no drilling, no seat pan removal.

3 moving sub-parts, 0 motors

Front frame, rear frame, return cam. Three moving parts, purely passive transmission, spring return to the upright position for an unoccupied seat.

0 W, 0 electronics

No power supply, no sensor, no aircraft wiring. 100% mechanical operation, on the ground and in flight, with no EMC impact.

FLEET FINANCIAL MODEL

Interactive Fleet ROI Simulator

A model built for Revenue, Cabin and Procurement directors. LSEAT is not sold: it is installed through a flexible rental model, with zero upfront investment and no hardware for the airline to own. Adjust your fleet, your retrofitted Economy seat inventory and your pricing policy: the ancillary revenue, the rental cost, the net benefit and the break-even load factor are recomputed in real time. Every displayed value derives exclusively from the assumptions you enter.

Fleet assumptions

12

Retrofitted fleet, cabins in service

180

Excluded seats (business class, berths)

€45

Net unit revenue per passenger per flight

82 %

Annual load factor retained by the airline

1.0 ×

1.00 = full year of operation

€25

User hypothesis: the actual LSEAT tariff is quoted on request

Rental model status

Maximum exposure before free termination: €324,000 (6 months of rent).

Break-even from month 1
  • Rental model — no upfront investment
  • Free termination after 6 months

Annual ancillary revenue

€29,091,960

Sleep-mode surcharge, year 1

Total annual rental cost

€648,000

Recurring seat rent, year 1

Net annual benefit

€28,443,960

Ancillary revenue minus rental cost

Net monthly benefit per retrofitted seat

€1,097.37

Net annual ÷ seats ÷ 12

Break-even load factor

Load factor that exactly covers the rent

Break-even passengers per year

Cumulative ancillary revenue vs rental cost

  • Cumulative ancillary revenue
  • Cumulative rental cost
Year 1 Year 2 Year 3 Year 4 Year 5

Over 5 years: €145,459,800 in ancillary revenue against €3,240,000 of cumulative rental cost — net margin €142,219,800.

Aircraft in fleet : 12. Retrofitted Economy seats per aircraft : 180. Sleep-mode surcharge per passenger : €45. Average load factor : 82 %. Seasonality factor : 1.0 ×. Monthly rental fee per seat : €25

Disclaimer. An indicative simulation based on the assumptions entered above. LSEAT is offered through a rental model with no upfront investment and free termination after six months; the actual rental tariff is quoted on request. This tool does not replace a commercial offer nor the Part 21J documentation package. The monthly rental fee and the passenger surcharge are user hypotheses, not certified values.
