Concept

Our goal was to create a chair that combines high quality, ergonomics, seating comfort (especially for long flights), and that works well with different flight control setups.

Also, the chair has a central cut-out in the seat to mount a center joystick in the perfect position.

Design

The most important feature is the specialized form of the backrest.

The wider contured bottom part provides stability and support for the pilot. The slimmer top part allows for full freedom of the shoulder and elbows to have complete unimpeded joystick/throttle motion range.

This allows full unristricted operation of the joystick and throttle.

  • Height adjustable
  • Synchronous mechanism – the seat and backrest move synchronously with each other
  • You can fix the backrest in 5 positions
  • The backrest’s height is adjustable in 6 positions

Cover

The contact surfaces of the MFC-8 are made of real curly lambskin and therefore nestle softly against the body. In addition, it is breathable, allergy-friendly and comes from New Zealand.
The wool height of the dyed natural curl is approx. 2 cm.
