You asked for more legroom. The monkey's paw curled.
This is apparently the stuff that gets you a nod from the aviation industry, with Núñez Vicente's design earning a nomination in theThere are some other drawbacks other than the Chaise Lounge's dystopian appearance, and indeed, fart facing set-up. Its added height means that overhead storage compartments are a no-go, ergo less room to store things. So that added legroom? It might just be eaten up by baggage.
Plus, while bottom row passengers get easier access, top row fliers will have to sacrifice their own accessibility, requiring two big steps to climb up. To be fair though, Núñez Vicente maintains that he envisions only one side of the plane being taken up by the Chaise Lounge, and the other side keeping a normal seating arrangement, offering, in his mind, the best of both worlds.Those tradeoffs aside, Núñez Vicente says his design will appeal to airlines because of its efficient use of space.
There might be a few good reasons for that. Double decker seats could be a nightmare to get through Federal Aviation Administration regulations, not to mention adding more weight to already-laden jetliners. And, really, who knows how safe the design might be?
