Aircrafts troop seating is lightweight and minimizes protruding features on which gear might snag. High strength webbing straps are added to a light weight seat fabric to add strength where strength is required, thus reducing the overall weight. The webbing is of a type used for seatbelts and meets fire regardant requirements. Seat belt style tension adjusters allow adjustment of the seating stretch to improve comfort and crash protection. Internal hardware attachment points are provided to reduce protruding features.

Troop seat

A slip-retarding upper torso restraint harness and system for supporting a pilot seated in a vehicle during crash impact. The restraint harness includes a pair of retractably anchored left and right shoulder webbings each having a friction area on its respective inner surface, and at least one anchored base webbing releasably connectable to the pair of left and right shoulder webbings by a buckle. The friction areas operate to prevent the pilot from sliding forward along the inner surfaces of the left and right shoulder webbings during crash impact. Additionally, the restraint system further includes a one-piece pilot suit having secondary friction areas which work together with the friction areas of the restraint harness to provide even greater restraint during crash impact.
