Aviation Fabricators (AvFab) is expecting certification shortly for two seats designed specifically for special-mission King Airs to help reduce fatigue, stabilize posture, and increase occupant stability on long flight legs, the company announced this week at NBAA-BACE 2025. A manufacturer of Textron Aviation high-density special mission seating since 2009, AvFab is rolling out the Guardian seat for intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance missions, and the Responder seat for medevac missions.

“We found there was room for new ISR seating,” said AvFab co-founder Jeff Lowe. “We were hearing from customers and our market research department found that the lead time, the cost, and the support were of considerable concern in the ISR world for seating.”
