Abstract
The present invention relates to an aircraft seat having a seat base, a seat unit, and a floor attachment assembly, where a first side of the seat base is configured to be fastened to the seat unit, and a second side of the seat base is configured to be fastened to the floor attachment assembly, and the floor attachment assembly is configured to be mechanically connected to a floor structure of an aircraft in order to fasten the aircraft seat to the aircraft, where the seat base is formed by at least one flexurally rigid shell component, where the shell component has a cavity for receiving at least one functional element, with the cavity being closed. A first heat-transfer element having an inner portion and an outer portion is provided, with the inner portion being assigned to the cavity and being in contact with the functional element in order to absorb thermal energy generated by the functional element, and the outer portion being assigned to an external environment of the shell component in order to dissipate the thermal energy absorbed from the functional element to the environment.
