An Italian manufacturing firm is hoping to help airlines cram even more people
onto their planes with its new idea for “increased upright passenger position”
seating.

Oh good!

The Skyrider 2.0 — a design proposed by Aviointeriors and unveiled at the
Aircraft Interiors Expo 2018 in Hamburg — is billed by the company as an
“innovative seat” which would allow for an “ultra-high density” of passengers in
the cabin area, per press materials.

Each Skyrider 2.0 seat offers a back support and a saddle-style cushion for
passengers to rest upon, along with armrests and a seat-back tray table. The
Skyrider does not, however, allow for much room between rows, and in turn, no
room for stowing baggage under the seats.

The “pitch” of the Skyrider seats — the distance between the back of one and the
back of the one in front of it — is just 23 inches, reports CNET. The pitch on
most commercial economy flights is currently between 28 to 31 inches.

Despite this, Aviointeriors claims the seats will provide “adequate comfort” for
flyers on shorter flights. The company is also eager to tout that its new
Skyrider 2.0 model will generate more revenue for airlines.

“Thanks to this seat, we are able to increase the number of passengers by 20
percent with a consequent increase in profits for airline companies,”
Aviointeriors writes.

It’s unclear if US carriers will even be able to purchase the designs for its
Boeing or Airbus aircraft either, after an appeals court ruled in July 2017 that
the FAA must being a review of its seat sizes, with one judge calling it “the
Case of the Incredible Shrinking Airline Seat.”

This reminds me of a elevator sign I saw overseas,
"capacity = 6 people or 3 Americans"
