Zusammenfassung:A two-part seat ( 10 ) providing full body support that is specific for each crew member ( 30 ) on an individual basis. The two-part construction for the seat ( 10 ) can accommodate many sizes and shapes for crewmembers ( 30 ) because it is reconfigurable and therefore reusable for subsequent flights. The first component of the two-part seat construction is a composite shell ( 12 ) that surrounds the crewmember's entire body and is generically fitted to their general size in height and weight. The second component of the two-part seat ( 10 ) is a cushion ( 20 ) that conforms exactly to the specific crewmember's entire body and gives total body support in more complex environment.
