ABSTRACT:
A high-performance aircraft seat is disclosed that automatically reacts to ecline the pilot as the aircraft experience higher G's in the vertical direction, or along the pilot's Z-axis. The seat, consisting of a seat pan joined to a seat back, is hingedly fixed, at a point forward of the pilot/seat combination center of gravity, to the surface. An hydraulic cylinder is fixed between the surface, aft of the hinge point, and the seat back and will react to return the seat to its initial position, from a "G-force" induced reclining position, whenever the "G" forces subside.
