Marking the 10th anniversary of the first flight of an aircraft equipped with its seatbelt airbag, AmSafe Industries of Phoenix, is introducing its next-generation seatbelt airbag. AmSafe developed “the first and only” seatbelt airbag certified for use on commercial aircraft as a cost-effective method of 16g compliance for difficult-to-certify seat placements.”
According to AmSafe Industries president Bill Hagan, the new seatbelt airbag upgrade enhancements include a 30-percent reduction in weight, a 40-percent increase in service life, wireless onboard diagnostics (manually or through an integrated wireless system), design improvements that include a sleeker, narrower bag-belt and a lightweight, redesigned buckle.
