Mildly Infuriating

This seems incompatible with a pretty high proportion of Americans.

With your face right at prime fart receiving level. Wtf.

Pretty soon they're just going to roofie people and pack them into planes like sardines.

I don't absolutely hate it, but I'm 6'3", so fully stretching my legs out on a plane is always just a pipe dream.

I'm sure they'd make them fit only average size people, unfortunately.

I think they should just have rows of bunk beds. It's much easier to stack something flat than people with their awkward bends at the hips and knees.

Window seat dude needs to take a piss, watch the fun ...

Also, why the fuck is she smiling?!

One day they'll invent super-economy class where you just get strapped to the wings and released over your destination. Parachutes will cost extra.

I think whoever thought of this concept should die

Here is a 3d render of the proposed cabin layout seen in this image.

imagine this plane crashing.

As someone who doesn't have claustrophobia, I feel claustrophobic just looking at this. Then again, I've never been on a plane before, and for all I know this might be better :/

at that point just give me general anaesthesia and put me in an airline shipping coffin so at least i don't have to be conscious for the horror show

That doesn't actually look to bad considering what we have today

She's smiling, so you know it's all okay

Why does she look so happy?

These people smile like they've never rode in an airplane with more than 3 people

"why do people prefer trains??"

No, wait. This is actually not a bad idea.

Look closely. First of all there's a rigid barrier between the lower and upper seat. That means that fart gasses won't get through, unlike current seats where farts just spread everywhere around a person, so only the upper seats will be affected.

Second, the lady has her feet up, meaning she has enough leg room to do so. This is a big advantage because you can kick your feet up on your underseat baggage while you sleep or stretch your legs. It's much better than the current layout where you can barely move at all.

No offense, but I think anyone with a negative opinion of this layout is wrong.

Lalala, don't mind me, I'll just leave this here...

Seems happy to be probably smelling some bodies vacation diet farts for an entire international flight. Imagine the farts you'll be subjected to sitting under somebody who spent a week in Indonesia or Thailand absorbing the spicy local cuisine.

There are laws regulating how to transport pigs and cows to the slaughterhouse. They have more space than the passengers on this plane.

As a taller person, if this gives me sufficient legroom and a seat that actually distributes the weight over my whole thighs such that I can sit somewhat comfortable, this seems like a major upgrade to me.

Can they guarantee it won't collapse and break my legs?

Transatlantic human cattle

The sadness really hits when you see this was last year, and not 1991 where the concept should have stayed.
