AIX18: The Skyrider 2.0 …

11/04/2018 by Kevincm

From the floor of Aircraft Interiors Expo, AVIO Interiors are typing to push an ultra-low-cost seating product.

And it’s… different. Rather than me rattle on – let’s look at the AVIO Skyrider 2.0

Avio Interiors Skyrider

Well. What can I say to this? According to AVIO interiors it offers:

  • 20% extra seats on a plane at 23″
  • 50% less weight

And well. If you think some of the seats you’ve seen are bare bones… well – look below.

Those of you who think today’s planes are crammed – here’s a proposed seat plan from AVIO Interiors.

Whilst innovation is to be noted, it does raise questions of:

  • Accessibility
  • What passengers will actually be able to sit in it?
  • Children under an age won’t fit
  • Elderly people.

This remains a concept – and in a lot of ways – whilst it might be a 2.0 seat… I hope this isn’t one concept that makes it to the skies.

But would you ride on it?
