Obviously, it’s in every aviator’s best interest to know when the aircraft is losing cabin pressure. But, when it comes to sensing pressure points in the body, many pilots are incognizant of the potentially damaging effects.

AIRHAWK Cushion Pressure Map

Whether one’s a commercial pilot or a recreational aviator, comfortable seating is a paramount issue. In fact, numbness can transpire into several immobilizing chronic medical conditions. Aside from the repercussions of severe pain, there’s a high risk for nerve damage, decubitus sores, or even ischemia.

Sitting for 90-minutes or more can be injurious on the back and posterior. For the best protection, an effective aviation seat exceeds one’s comfort level. Pressure plays a significant role. It’s a grave misnomer that gel and foam aviation cushions outperform air.

Since gel and foam aviation cushions inhibit regular blood flow, they ultimately giveaway to high surface tension, promoting hot pressure points, diminutive deformations and indentions in the skin. (The illustration on the left depicts these hot pressure points).

On the contrary, the AIRHAWK aviation seat cushion’s Shape Fitting Technology’s® patented system interrupts the development of painful hot spots, diverting pressure and promoting consistent circulation.

Handcrafted from soft, pliable materials, the AIRHAWK outdistances foam and gel aviation seat cushions for a myriad of reasons. Here’s how and why the AIRHAWK aviation seat cushion diverts pressure:

• Reduces heat build-up with a breathable outer cover

• Non-hardening neoprene molds to the body’s posterior

• Open mesh side panels enable circulation between air cells

• Conforms to your discerning comfort level with a built-in bulb pump

• Blocks out moisture, enhancing unadulterated, cool comfort
