Airbus’s 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. Its seat pan and backrest move together, powered by a single motor, in order to convert from an upright position to a bed.
