Flying economy has never been glamorous, but these streamlined new seats might make those cheap tickets a bit more alluring
.has devised a prototype seat, designed for use in Airbus economy cabins on short to mid-haul flights, that promises to deliver heightened comfort levels.
Dubbed"Move," this concept seat is made of a fancy fiber that's connected to built-in smart sensors -- allowing passengers to manually control seat temperature, tension, pressure and movement, all via an app on their phone. The app will also let passengers know when it's time to get up and stretch their legs or take a sip of water.Courtesy LAYER, reveal a chic piece of airplane furniture decked out in hues of red and blue. It certainly looks more stylish than a typical bucket class seat.
The design caters to the needs of 21st century passengers: there's a special pocket for laptops or tablets that will use pressure-sensitive fabric to detect if an electronic device has been left inside. The seats don't recline -- so there'll be no passive-agressive conversations with the person in the row behind you. Instead, the focus is on controlling the situation in your seat.The chairs are designed for use in Airbus airplane economy cabins.
