 Now available for transport category and general aviation aircraft, the AmSafe Aviation Inflatable Restraint (AAIR) can dramatically reduce fatalities and head/neck injuries in survivable aircraft accidents. Compatible with standard aircraft seating and seat belt attach points, the AAIR looks and operates like standard AmSafe Aviation seat belts. An integral airbag stored in the fixed half seat belt will deploy and protect the occupant during a catastrophic event. Once the system’s multiple sensors detect an imminent 16g/26g event, the system’s inflator is initiated, creating a volume of gas to deploy a large airbag "pillow" up and away from the occupant's lap belt within milliseconds. The AAIR looks and feels similar to existing safety belts and is designed to be installed on any aircraft seat in minutes.
