The mobile aircraft seat-wheelchair for people requiring special assistance consists of a standard aircraft seat that includes a seat (2), two armrests (1) and a backrest (3), as well as wheels (7) attached on the chassis (11), a legs rest (13), a handle (16), a motor mechanism (6) for its motion, control panels (4,5), a secure locking mechanism (8,9) for its locking on the aircraft cabin floor (15), and inputs (10) for the electrical connection between aircraft systems and access buttons (14) of the aircraft seat- wheelchair. The mobile aircraft seat-wheelchair can be used by disabled people and assistants ail the way through, from the car park of a departing airport up to the pick up point of the arrival airport, including intermediate steps like boarding ramps, jet ways, lifts, shuttle buses, ambilifts, and within the aircraft cabin during flight. In the last case, it can be used by able-bodied passengers too, if there is no disabled passenger in the flight.
