Abstract

An articulated high "G" force aircraft seat which is movable between a conventional upright position and a reclined position. As described, the head and eyes remain in a relatively stationary position without affecting instrument monitoring or external vision. The aircraft controls remain within easy reach, yet the pilot is able to sustain high acceleration maneuvers in excess of eight "G's".
