Wren shared a customer story about installing an inverse herringbone-style seating in business class.“ With this installation, there was a concern from the FAA that the seatbelt-mounted inflatable airbags could become a tripping hazard( post-deployment) as well as block the emergency proximity lighting along the main aisle. To address this concern, we worked with the seat supplier to develop and perform naïve subject testing to successfully demonstrate that the deployed air bags did not present a tripping hazard or block the emergency lighting. This successful testing helped support many follow-on installations of similar seating products.”
