Crashworthy seats are structural seating assemblies designed to attenuate impact energy during hard landings and crash events, covering energy-absorbing stroking mechanisms, load-limiting devices, and deformable subfloor attachment fittings, together with associated dynamic testing to FAR/CS 25.562 or MIL-S-58095 pulse criteria, and materials including aluminium alloy frames, composite panels, and inertia-reel restraint harnesses.
