AmSafe Adds New Airbag Restraints for Variety of Seating Situations

AmSafe is highlighting the advantages of its new side-facing divan airbag restraints, leg flail mitigation airbag systems and lightweight conventional three-point lap belts, weighing 20 percent less than those currently installed. The company (Booth No. C12740) is opening a new market for its airbag systems in airliners and larger business jets, following the FAA’s update of technical criteria for side-facing seats.

Current markets for AmSafe include airliners, business jets and general aviation fixed-wing airplanes. The company is exploring the helicopter market, primarily military applications, while continuing to research that environment’s unique injury profiles and restraint requirements.
