Interesting. The "enveloping hammock" design would not have met C-17 requirements. Such an "envelope" would stretch too much to meet requirements when under a crash load with a 400 lb trooper (400...

Hmmmmm. RAF C-130s and C-17s have "more civilized" passenger seats? Really?!! That's an interesting bit of news I sat in UK3 (third C-17 delivered to UK) 10 minutes ago and it had the same...
