Here’s what it might be like to travel on a stand-up aeroplane seat

First things first: Gaetano Perugini, engineering adviser at Aviointeriors, is keen to stress that the concept’s not about creating “cattle class” and cramming in as many passengers in as possible.

Named the ‘Skyrider’, the newest seat design is currently on display at the in Aircraft Interiors Expo 2019 in Hamburg, Germany, and promises to attract plenty of attention from airlines looking to increase the number of seats in the economy class sections of planes, apparently without compromising on comfort.

The design was first proposed back in 2010, but had some structural issues that prevented it from taking off. (Source)
