Abstract

An emergency ejection seat adjustable along two independent axes: vertical adjustment (up and down) and horizontal adjustment (fore and aft). The ejection seat adjusts to accommodate all aircrew sizes, sitting shoulder heights, buttock-knee lengths, and functional limb reaches and is constructed of modular components which are easily removed and replaced. The ejection seat comprises a seat bucket structure, a seat insert, a linkage assembly and equipment bays. The linkage assembly interfaces between the ejection seat bucket structure and seat insert to allow both vertical and horizontal adjustment.
