Fuel cell and power train (FCPT) systems are provided and adapted to being operatively mounted at a tail section of an aircraft fuselage. The FCPT systems will include port and starboard subsystems each being comprised of a nacelle adapted to being laterally attached to a respective side of the tail section of the fuselage, an electric motor contained in the nacelle, a propeller assembly mounted to the nacelle and operatively connected to and adapted to be driven by the electric motor contained therein, and at least one fuel cell positioned in the tail section of the fuselage to supply electrical power to the electric motor contained in the nacelle. One or more hydrogen fuel tanks may be mounted within the tail section of the fuselage to provide a source of hydrogen gas (H) as fuel to the fuel cells.

Side-facing belted aircraft seats include a tactile signaling unit to induce movement of the seat occupant. For such purpose, the signaling unit may be provided with a signaling lid covering a female buckle of a lap belt restraint assembly. The signaling lid is moveable between a closed position wherein engagement of a male tab of the lap belt with the female buckle is precluded and an open position wherein engagement of the male tab with the female buckle is allowed. The signaling lid thereby provides tactile stimulation when in the open position thereof to induce the seated occupant to shift on the cushioned seat so that a midsaggital plane of the occupant is aligned with an offset plane of the seat that is offset by a predetermined distance toward one side of the seat relative to a midplane of the seat.
