Hello again all.
Didnt they try the backwards facing seats and people not like them?
I do like the idea though, i’v been trying to come up with a design where the back rest of the seat and rotate around to the other side thus making you sit backwards in the event of an emergency as its supposed to be safer that way . . . also i find sitting on a chair backwards (straddling it i guess?!?) is quite a comfortable position to sleep, and you take up alot less space.

any other ideas floating around?

Have a look at the railway carriages on the UKs preserved steam railways. Then you could design the interior like the Russians did with their Tupolevs in the 1960s…

Another quick question . . . .

Could you all try and explain to me what ‘Comfort’ means to you . .

is it all about phtyical comfort i.e the seat?
or is it more than that?
how can i satisfy all of your sences and make you truely comfortable . .
(try and answer that knowing the seats were NOT able to recline)
maybe i could give the the sence of lying down without u physically doing it . . trick your sences . .

it really does depend on what type of aircraft or the airline you are flying on.

If you can think-up/design a way of allowing me look out of the window and to get up to use the toilet without causing a disturbance to other passengers…I am all ears/eyes!:D

Regards,

Jon.

Sorry i forgot to mension this, I will most probably be designing for a Boeing 747.

Alot of people like the whole window thing it seems. Could you please help me understand this a little better? Why exactly do you like to look out the window during the flight? What emotions does it bring you?
Because to me, its basically just clouds and sky for 95% of the journey . . .
Would a few ‘under plane cams’ be good enough for you as part of your entertainment channels?

Thankyou again for helping me out with all this,

Thanks for spending some time reading/writing all that.

But just because its an economy interior, doesnt mean it has to be hugely uncomfortable . . . Comfort doesnt always have to mean expensive tv’s etc . .
There are plenty of ways to improve all this without spending huge amounts of money. These are what i am interested in.
And believe me, i know all about the ‘bums/butts in seats’ way that airlines work. I am a 4th year student and have done ALOT of research.
Plus, this is a minor project and I am looking to go down a very conceptual design path. I was just interested in what input you guys had to say.

I would love to hear and wacky idea you have, nothing is too out there ! ! set your minds free !
