A novel aircraft seating layout described as a “radical solution” to economy-class travel will be unveiled at this year’s Aircraft Interiors Expo 2007 to be held at Hamburg on 17-19 April.
The Freedom concept, hatched by Premium Aircraft Interior Group, creates an additional column of seats by positioning passengers in opposite directions. According to Premium, the design, “enables their shoulders to overlap, minimising the width of an armrest between each occupant”.
“We set out to humanise long-haul economy air travel and at the same time have created an entirely new seating configuration with a striking cabin aesthetic”, says Ian Dryburgh, head of Acumen Design Associates, which together with Premium make up the ‘twoHB’ partnership which designed the Freedom system.
Just imagine you take a nap on the airplane and wake up with your head in someone's stinky armpit! So who is going to fight for the middle seat on this flight. At least it will be easier to get up to go to the bathroom no more climbing over the legs when you are at the window seat.
