seatbacks
Airline tray mounts
Seatbacks are the upright portions of seats that support the back.
The word appears most often in airline and automotive contexts, where regulations and announcements reference them: Please return your seatbacks to their upright position.
A seatback may recline, fold down, or contain a pocket for magazines and safety cards.
