Abstract
The energy absorbing assembly may include a seat frame having a base, a seat pan coupled to the seat frame, and a deformable member disposed substantially between the seat pan and the base of the seat frame. In various embodiments, the seat pan is configured to support a passenger in a seated position and the deformable member is configured to undergo plastic deformation in response to a first compressive load on the deformable member.
