Scappoose, Oregon – Oregon Aero, Inc. recently signed an agreement to supply its Bell 206, Bell 407 and Bell OH-58 VK SmartCushion™ Seating Systems to Aeronautical Accessories, Inc. (AAI), an affiliate of Bell Helicopter Textron.
“This was a natural alliance because of Aeronautical Accessories’ 30-year record of manufacturing quality parts for the helicopter industry and Oregon Aero’s 20-year history of manufacturing pain-free, safer aircraft seating,” says Tony Erickson, Oregon Aero Chief Operating Officer (COO). “We are pleased to announce this new, collaborative working relationship.”

The Oregon Aero® VK SmartCushion™ System shifts the hips, pelvis and back into the proper, comfortable seating position, providing pain-free flying, no matter how long the flight. Custom-designed for each helicopter model and seat frame, the seat cushions:
- Provide maximum comfort,
- Minimize low back pain and fatigue,
- Are equally comfortable for multiple users,
- Improve crew endurance,
- Allow pilots and crews to focus on their jobs, and
- Comply with applicable FAA 14 CFR 43 requirements.
Highly engineered, VK SmartCushion™ Systems are hand made in the U.S.A. by skilled Oregon Aero technicians, using as many as 20 differently shaped pieces and seven distinctive materials, including temperature- and pressure-sensitive visco-elastic foam.
