Double-decker seats that can change airplane travel forever

The leg room has always been a major problem for people travelling in airplanes but thanks to a new design by Alejandro Núñez Vicente, the economy class travel will change forever.

The design, which was nominated in the 2021 Crystal Cabin Awards, will be showcased in AIX, one of the world’s biggest aviation shows in the world.

Núñez Vicente’s prototype shows two levels of seating for passengers with a ladder-like step helping the travellers to climb on to the top level

The design shown in the prototype model also gets rid of the overhead cabin space. The design incorporates a separate space between the two level of seating that can take care of the combined luggage belonging to all six traveller

The prototype has generated mixed emotions among the people, but Alejandro Núñez Vicente believes the design can be implemented in a Boeing 747, Airbus A330 or any other medium to large wide-body airplane in the near future
