A compact aircraft cabin crew attendant seat (10) includes a seat back portion (12), a shell (14) that encloses the seat back portion (12), a head rest portion (16) mounted to a top portion of the seat back portion (12), and a seat portion or squab (26). The seat portion (26) includes a hinge (28) that is slidably attached within a vertical slot (24) in the shell (14), allowing the seat portion (26) to be folded down in an open position of the crew attendant seat (10) for use. The seat portion hinge (28) moves vertically between an upper position in the compact closed position and a lower position in the open position. A major portion of the crew attendant seat (10) is formed from high strength carbon fiber reinforced composite to reduces weight. A vertical shock absorption system is configured to absorb energy during a crash landing. |
