The Italian seat design business behind the Skyrider 2.0 ‘Standing Seat’ which can one day be a reality for tourists On the way to abroad revealed how they really want to sit.
Aviosonteriors produce luxury business class chairs for private jets and airlines around the world and have created a physical prototype of the futuristic standing seat design at the company’s headquarters in the city of Latina near Rome.
The unconventional aircraft concept has taken tourists’ interest since it was first published in 2012, with designers indicating that it may be a way to save airlines and passengers in the future.
Described as a provocative exercise in design innovation, which challenges the boundaries of the air journey one day, under the current safety regulations for airlines, standing seat tickets are not something that tourists can buy soon.
However, a spokeswoman for Aviosonteriors told MailOnline Travel that a physical prototype of the bicycle style -stuffed seats – allowing passengers to lean at an angle without going completely – was manufactured.
The prototype is held at the company’s headquarters and its employees tested the innovative design.
The spokesman revealed what it was like to sit in, and hesitated about how comfortable the seat felt when he tried it.
The futuristic standing seat design – known as Skyrider 2.0 – was created as a concept by Italian Airplane Chair -Aviosinteriors – but a physical prototype was made and tested for comfort
Verdict: A spokesman told MailOnline Travel they were comfortable ‘for five minutes’ but admitted that it was unclear how they would feel ‘two or three hours’
He said, ‘I only put in it for five minutes, of course I did not travel in those seats (for a long time).
“I ride horses, so for me it felt comfortable. Who knows if you sat in it for two hours or three hours, how it would feel? ‘
The spokeswoman also said the brand faced “hate remarks” about the design idea and was forced to issue an answer on social media platforms that made it clear that the horse hall’s seating was only a concept.
The company, which specializes in designing and making seats for the highest cabin classes on aircraft, has placed on Instagram, saying: ‘Aviointeriors are well aware of the contemporary market requirements, which bring together quality, comfort and the unmistakable touch in Italy in every product it creates.
“For the time being, the Skyrider is not part of the official series.”
Judging by the strong response of some travelers to the images, if the seats ever become a reality, the money -saving idea, which can increase the passenger capacity by 20 percent on aircraft, is likely to be divided.
One person on social media said the design is similar to ‘slave seat’, while another said that the concept is not ‘treating people like people’.
As the concept developed, the Skyrider – currently known as 2.0, saw that the seat designs add more filling and firmer mounting, with poles connecting each row to the ceiling and floor, instead of the frame being just on a track.
Aviosinteriors said in a statement in 2018 about its designs: ‘The Skyrider 2.0 is an innovative seat. This allows an ultra-high density in the aircraft cabin.
The seats of horseback style can increase passenger capacity on airlines by 20 percent – but it probably won’t be set soon due to the safety regulations of airlines
The brand published a message on his social media accounts this week in which he made it clear that the standing seats are not being made – after receiving ‘hate remarks’ over the Skyrider Seat Design
The seats that the Italian brand actually makes; The company sells its luxury business class designs to airlines and private jet manufacturers around the world
‘Skyrider 2.0 opens the travel experience to a larger passenger market, which also creates a useful space for the launch of mixed classes on board on the same plane.
‘The most important feature of this is the original bottom that ensures that an increased upright passenger position can install the seat at a reduced pitch, while maintaining sufficient ease.
‘Designing this seat set (carriers) enabled the passenger number by 20 percent, which enables increasing aviation business gains.’
At the time, the company added that Skyrider weighs 2.0 50 percent less than standard economics and has a reduced number of components for ‘minimum maintenance costs’.
Its claim is that this seat represents ‘the new boundary of low-cost tickets and passenger experience’.
The semi -related seats did not impress prospective passengers on social media
Ryanair chief Michael O’Leary said about his desire to use the ‘standing Berths’.
In 2012, he said he wanted his Boeing’s 737 and 800 with 10 rows of their and 15 rows of traditional seats.
At the time, Michael suggested that the standing tickets could cost as little as £ 1 to £ 5.
But the semi -relevant seats did not impress prospective passengers on social media.
One said, ‘It’s pathetic. Treat people like people. My gosh. ‘
Another joke: ‘Soon they will stuck you to the wing with an oxygen mask.’
A third added: ‘Please never buy these tickets when it exists! Don’t help/support it. ‘
And a fourth blew: “I know” slave seat “when I see it. I’ll pass by. ‘
