Airbus files a new patent application in European Patent Office for a horrifying, “seating device”. Los Angeles Times, pointed it out as, “it has no tray table, no headrest, and very little legroom.” Airbus made it clear that, “it is no longer possible to further reduce the seating width, particularly in economy class and even more difficult to further reduce [the] distance between the seats because of the increase in the average size of the passengers.” The new seats aren’t perfect, but they’re on the right path. And for the airlines, fitting more economy-class passengers on each flight helps keep prices down while still protecting the significant revenue stream from business and first-class tickets. For those of us who happen to be tall, the simple concept of a height-adjustable seat offers sweet relief in the skies.
