SCHROTH Safety Products, a leading manufacturer of innovative occupant protection and restraint systems for customised applications in aerospace, defense and motorsport, has introduced its new and advanced Passenger Lap Belt Airbag at the 2022 Aircraft Interiors Expo® in Hamburg, Germany.
The all new SCHROTH Lap Belt Airbag System is the signature product for commercial aviation passenger restraint solutions. Building on SCHROTH’s extensive experience with inflatable passenger safety products in commercial and business aviation, the SCHROTH Lap Belt Airbag System delivers the next generation of passenger airbag solutions.
The system’s groundbreaking, patent-pending design is suitable for passenger seating applications in all commercial passenger classes. It is the ideal occupant safety solution for critical front row, exit row, and business-class seats. The design meets the latest FAA and EASA rules on head impact, neck injury, head rotation, rebound and chest acceleration, while it has been optimised for passenger comfort with a soft and comfortable packaging.
A key feature of the new product is its unique airbag shape which covers a wide spectrum of seating configurations, thus avoiding recurring design and test iterations, and substantially reducing engineering and certification costs.
