Airbus Files Patent Reimagining The Business Class Seat: What To Expect

Airbus has filed a patent that proposes a business class seat unit for airliners that delivers lie-flat comfort in dense cabins, a move that significantly improves the products that the manufacturer is able to offer in business class cabins. The new seat will be available on both widebody and single-aisle jets. The seat pan and backrest move together, powered by a single motor, in order to convert from an upright position to a bed. The aircraft seat offers a surrounding body with a rear partition, side panel, and sliding doors, all of which make it one of the most comfortable seats to make its way into the skies. Cabins can be arranged with these seats laid out side by side or in groups.
