AIRCRAFT BULKHEAD-MOUNTED PILOT SEAT WITH HORIZONTAL AND VERTICAL ADJUSTMENT

A bulkhead-mounted aircraft seat assembly (100) configured for independent vertical and horizontal adjustment includes an aircraft seat (102) (seatback and seat frame/cushion) for supporting a pilot, passenger, or other occupant. Parallel rails (104) attach to the bulkhead (110) and extend along the bulkhead (110) (vertically or near vertically) with opposing slots (104a) set into each rail (104). A sled (202) translates along the rails (104) via paired sliding members (112) set into the slots (104a), each pair of sliding members (112) connected to an axle extending through the sled (202). A four-bar linkage attached to the sled (202) and to the aircraft seat (102); the four-bar linkage extends from a default position to allow the aircraft seat (102) to translate along a horizontal linear rail under the seat while maintaining a stable vertical reference point above the cabin floor. The seat (102) is independently configured for substantially vertical adjustment via a metering plate (106) attached to the bulkhead (110).
