The Boeing Automated Pilot Seat was designed for the Boeing 737 aircraft and could be incorporated in newer iterations of the aircraft as they are released. From my research I discovered a design opportunity stemming from the use of new technology used by almost every pilot today, the iPad. In the past, all flight documents were kept in paper form that the pilot had to flip through to find whatever information they needed, but they now store all this information in file form downloaded to their iPads.

The main objective was to design a motorized and app controlled pilot seat for the Boeing 737. By doing this, a pilot could board the plane and scan a form of identification and the chair would move into their preset position (with a manual activation button to prevent any potential system hacking). This would save preparation time during take-off due to the time-consuming perfection of setting up the pilot seat. This would be very valuable to the airlines who would like to save time wherever they can to fit in more flights into a day.
