What seat is in xxxxxx airplane?
This is a very difficult question to answer. In many cases the aircraft goes through several different seats in its service career. Often the prototypes will have one seat and the service aircraft a different seat. In other cases the seat may vary either in detail or to a different design over the lifespan of the aircraft as requirements change, and as the seats evolve. The Lockheed F-104 Starfighter had at least six seats (five of which are covered on the attached page). The F-100 Super Sabre had at least four. In recent vintage, the F/A-18 has at least two types (three different designations), as well as the F-14 using two different seats over its lifespan. If you have a specific question as to a particular aircraft, drop me a line, and I will attempt to look it up.
