Energy absorbing seat concept

Baruch Sharon has a special expertise and many years of experience in development of crashworthy energy absorbing seats, and invented energy absorbing systems for aircraft seats. The seats were designed in accordance with stringent aviation safety requirements (civilian or military). The design included lightweight crashworthy structure and mechanisms. Special energy absorbing systems were incorporated in the seats, reducing significantly crash impact load transferred to the occupants.
