In-flight comfort is a recurring theme when it comes to commercial aviation. There are always jokes, anecdotes and stories about the discomfort of airline seats. “The seats are cramped”, “the rows are too close together” or “I couldn’t even get up” are all recurring phrases for travellers flying in economy class.
These problems are nothing new in the sector, but if we add COVID safety measures to the lack of space, we find that alternatives must be sought for the organisation and design of aircraft interiors.
