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) और अधिक...Sort type: [Top] [Newest]
They look strange let's hope they are comfortable on long flights
An interesting observation:
"The chairs will also automatically adapt to adjust to a passenger’s weight and size". Looking at the pictures, the armrests will do nothing to prevent some lard-a*se fattie next door from slithering sideways into "your" space.

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)
They’ve started to install similar seats on the latest British trains. Take it from me if you’re not the regulation size they will be extremely uncomfortable after a couple of hours without being able to move!
What's to stop me controlling sombody elses seat?
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 .....
