Head of design Andrew Barber said, "Its taken many hundreds of hours to develop and document our existing procedures to meet 21J DOA and raise the breadth and depth of our technical capabilities compared with the old BCAR system"

PEGS

Simple but ingenious, PEGS (Positive Ergonomic Guide System) is a series of coloured plastic pegs fixed to the underside of the seat bottom cushion, offering four distinct advances over regular Velcro retained cushion systems:

The system locates the cushion into its optimum comfort and space setting. Regular, Velcro-retained cushions can be up to two inches out of position, thus impairing both comfort and space envelopes. No additional pressure is applied to the lower thigh/upper calf area due to incorrectly fitted cushions, therefore helping to avoid potential health problems. PEGS correctly positions bottom cushions to maintain agreed emergency evacuation (egress) space, radically enhancing safety. Fitting and refitting is greatly eased by colour-coded pegs and receptacles, with each colour having its own unique peg configuration, slashing installation times.
