Abstract
The invention relates to an aircraft seat having a seat assembly, wherein the seat assembly comprises a seat base and a seat surface assembly. The seat surface assembly is translationally movable in one direction relative to the seat base and can be blocked in at least one position. A force-limiting device is provided which, when activated, allows a relative movement between the seat base and the blocked seat surface assembly. Furthermore, the aircraft seat has a rocking ability about a transverse axis between the seat base and at least parts of the seat surface assembly, wherein the rocking ability of the seat surface assembly can be blocked by a blocking element. A force-limiting device is provided, which, when activated, allows a rocking movement of the blocked seat surface assembly.
