ABSTRACT:
An aircraft seating arrangement for an aircraft in which the seats for the pilot and passengers are disposed on first and second pairs of longitudinally extending rails in a fashion that permits the seated occupant to position his seat at a desired location along the fuselage of the aircraft. The rails or tracks are disposed in the floor of the fuselage and roller members cooperate with the parallel tracks and with the seat frames to facilitate sliding the seats back and forth along the rails or tracks. A suitable detent is provided for locking the seat with respect to the rails at the desired location. Also, provision is made for rotating the seat cushion assembly from a normal, horizontal orientation to a substantially vertical orientation when a latching device is released.
