Lantal's contribution to the Solar Impulse project

As an “official supplier and expert for pilot comfort”, Lantal is making an important contribution to the success of the flight around the world.

In addition to the weight of the aircraft, pilot comfort and ergonomics play a pivotal role. As an “official supplier and expert for pilot comfort”, Lantal developed a seat cushion optimized for the

Si2 and its pilots, based on the revolutionary Pneumatic Comfort System. Lantal's Pneumatic Comfort System (PCS), which replaces the foam in conventional aircraft seats with air-filled cushions, not only

reduces the weight of this aircraft by several kilograms but also assures enhanced comfort for the pilots on their grueling mission.
