TUCSON, Ariz. (KGUN) – The Chaise Lounge Economy Seat features a new economy class seat design intended to improve the comfort and overall experience for passengers on all aircraft.
The main difference between traditional airplane seats and the new biplane design? The new design aims to optimize space. With more space, the designer hopes that traveling in economy class will be more comfortable and sustainable.
The designer describes the advantages for the passengers with this model:
“The chaise longue offers more legroom, easier accessibility and more posture variation. The two rows also have some unique characteristics: on the one hand, the lower row is ideal for people with reduced mobility or for resting on long flights.
The seat shell is completely hidden in the structure for easy boarding and alighting, and the backrest reaches an angle of 125 degrees (15 degrees more than the current economy class).
Most importantly, passengers can fully extend and support their legs, similar to a reclining position. To get to the upper row, on the other hand, you have to climb two steps. With the same 125-degree recline, this row of seats offers passengers more legroom and more privacy.”
