Onwards with Collins Aerospace who this morning launched their new Aurora Business Class seat.
Aurora is targeted for the single-aisle market, to offer a fully lie-flat Business Class suite designed exclusively for narrow-body aircraft.
A challenge was for Aurora to seamlessly integrate with existing or bespoke cabin furniture to optimize footprint, functionality and service, thus it incorporates itself into o existing or bespoke front and aft structures,
The Aurora seat maximizes cabin density while increasing crew work areas and storage., whilst giving the s cabins a more spacious and open feel.
It is configured so that passengers are set deeper into the seatback and next to the window – increasing privacy and maintaining 78 inches of bed length. This is done in the footprint of a 34″ seat.
The seat be optioned with or without a door, a privacy divider and a bespoke trim as needed.
Aurora is scheduled to deliver to its first customers beginning in 2024

There’s more to say. And more to see.
There is a lot of clever engineering that has gone on to make that work – and some clever ideas. We’ll be exploring this further with Collins Aerospace during the week, as well as going into the details of the product.

Nope. I bet the bathroom has more space. Instead of cramping everyone together. Give them more room and charge more for the flight. When we fly we want to enjoy the flight.
