Plane passenger seats become lifebelts in 10 seconds. New safety device for flying-boats
Plane passenger seats become lifebelts in 10 seconds. New safety device for flying-boats.
In preparation for the regular Atlantic service and also for the new Empire flying boats a new pattern " safety-seat" which can be converted to a lifebelt in under 10 seconds has been designed and incorporated in the passengers seat cushions on the Imperial Airways flying-boats. Although weighing only 5 pounds, the two cushions - seat and back - can support a weight of 20 stones in water they have been specially manufactured, after 18 months research, on the secret " float on air" principle.
Photo shows: Donning the " safety-seat" lifebelt and smoking a cigar at the same time during a test in the water at Southampton.
