Airbus Plane Economy Seat Prototype: Are these the future of airline cabins?
Travelling for long distances cramped in the economy cabin of a plane can often be an uncomfortable experience. But a British-based designer has come up with a concept for a new airline seat, where passengers can control the comfort of the chair, including its shape and temperature, using their mobile phone. Benjamin Hubert, of London-based design agency Layer, has created the economy class seating, called Move, that could be used on short to mid-haul Airbus aircraft, and it will even tell… (www.itravelapp.net) Mais...Sort type: [Top] [Newest]
Hopefully it means the little ratbag "darling" behind you will break their precious wee toes when they try kicking the back of your seat for 5 hours ....... they'll have to kick their parent instead .....
Not everyone can read a safety card from 3 feet away between their knees. No room for the airline magazine and menu (to purchase meals and/or duty free). Nice start, but they seem to ignore some pretty basic requirements.
It does look like the top section is a screen - so maybe it has a menu system there, or of course the paper could be replaced by something in the phone app ... and you just have to get your order in first and not wait ft see the item sold out before the trolley reaches you.
Apart from the legroom problem the other main problem at the moment is the hardness of the seats and after a couple of hours it feels like sitting on a piece of concrete, (HARD)
Really interesting - of course nothing at all to do with reducing weight - only about passenger comfort

No actually it mentions reducing weight as well. The seats will not recline, but I guess they are making up for that by making it adjustable in other ways and hopefully therefore, more comfortable. Sitting in one spot for long periods is literally a pain in the backside, so anything that can be done to fix this issue is likely to be very welcome news to pax.
which is one of the most, or the most important thing.. Good reputation means a lot for an airline.
