Aircraft seats are specialized seating units used in commercial and private aircraft to accommodate passengers during flight. These seats must be designed to maximize comfort, safety, and space efficiency while meeting stringent industry regulations. The creation of aircraft seats can be a complex undertaking, requiring a careful balance of ergonomics and lightweight, durable materials.

If you’re looking for a supplier of quality aircraft seat components, Pilgrim Harp is here to help. We offer comprehensive sourcing and stocking of a large variety of components and assemblies for companies across the globe.

Aircraft Seat Components

Aircraft seat components often include ergonomic designs, lightweight materials, and integrated features such as adjustable headrests and armrests. Manufacturers face constant demand for advanced seating solutions due to the emergence of fire-resistant materials, the need for compliance with safety standards, and the shift toward more advanced seating features.

The primary elements of an aircraft seat include:

  • The Structure. Often made with lightweight materials such as aluminum or carbon fiber.
  • Upholstery. Typically consists of synthetic materials like polyurethane, silicone, neoprene, and polyethylene.
  • Cushioning. Made from natural materials like nylon, polyester, cotton, and leather.
  • Plastic Molding. Often constructed from polycarbonate, vinyl, and plastazote.
