Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A modular monocoque backrest is provided. The modular monocoque backrest may comprise a front shroud, a back shroud, and an at least one back spar. The front shroud may be coupled to the back shroud, and the back spar may be configured as a mounting point, enabling the modular monocoque backrest to mount to an aircraft floor. The front shroud and the back shroud may comprise a carbon fiber composite material, allowing the modular monocoque backrest to be modular in nature. The carbon fiber composite material may enable the modular monocoque backrest to have a lightweight design while also maintaining resistance to dynamic crash loads.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1 . A method of manufacturing a modular monocoque backrest, comprising: forming a front shroud having a cushion support surface opposite of a first connecting surface, wherein the front shroud comprises a first carbon fiber composite material; forming a back shroud having a second connecting surface opposite of a back surface, wherein the back shroud comprises a second carbon fiber composite material; coupling the first connecting surface of the front shroud to the second connecting surface of the back shroud; and coupling an at least one back spar to the front shroud and the back shroud, wherein the back shroud comprise a top end opposite of a bottom end, wherein the top end is configured to couple at a first edge to the first connecting surface of the front shroud and couple at a second edge to the second connecting surface of the back shroud, and wherein the bottom end extends in a direction away from the front shroud and the back shroud. 2 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the front shroud is coupled to the back shroud via an epoxy adhesive.
