This News Could Change the Way You Fly…

Ever had sore knees after a long flight or perhaps you’re constantly manoeuvring yourself to try and get more space. Well, a new invention might be about to change that and finally solve the legroom problem that many people face on a plane. According to the Telegraph, B/E Aerospace have created a seat that is “legroom adjustable.” How it works is that it takes space from shorter passengers and gives it to the taller ones, but it’s not the passengers who are in control of deciding that. (Image: B/E Aerospace) What will happen is that those getting on the flight will be required to give their height when they check-in. The cabin crew will then be in control of moving the seats, via tablet or smartphone, to accommodate the different heights. The concept is still in the early stages with the designers looking to patent the idea (which we happen to think is pretty cool). Speaking about it, they said: “The one size fits all seating arrangement can cause discomfort for tall passengers, while a child or relatively small adult may be seated in an identical seat at the seat pitch, with more than ample leg room and in relative comfort.”
