Abstract
A seat track assembly is disclosed. The seat track assembly includes an elongate titanium crown, an elongate carbon-fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) flange, and an elongate CFRP base. The elongate titanium crown is configured to removably secure a plurality of seats to the seat track assembly. The elongate CFRP flange is configured to support the elongate titanium crown. The elongate CFRP base has a top, two sidewalls extending vertically from opposing sides of the top, and two bottom flanges each extending laterally outward from a corresponding sidewall of the two sidewalls. A fastener is insertable through aligned holes defined by the elongate titanium crown, the elongate CFRP flange, and the elongate CFRP base to mechanically fasten the elongate titanium crown, the elongate CFRP flange, and the elongate CFRP base to each other.
