San Gabriel, Calif.-based seating specialist Aero Seating Technology is now offering an aircraft seat option that provides three inches of vertical travel. According to v-p of business development Pete Perera, a spring-assist and gas-shock mechanism allows the passenger to “easily raise or lower the seat, which locks at any point when released.”

The company is also offering a tilt-function option that will raise the front edge of the seat to “keep the passenger from sliding out of the seat when the back is reclined.” Both the vertical travel option and the tilt function are also available in retrofit kit form for any of Aero Seating’s single seats. The tilt function is also available on double seats. Also offered as an option is a multi-speed seat-massage feature that, unlike some designs, includes both the bottom and back rest, and allows the user to select a particular section of the seat, such as lower or upper back.
