Here\u2019s a look at some of the most interesting designs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Co-Working Space Cabin:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Designed by students at the University of Cincinnati, this \u201ccoffee house cabin\u201d features a long row of tables facing one another in the center aisle of the plane, called \u201ca productivity-focused zone.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n The idea is that each passenger can have more space to work on their device alongside others, like at a coffee shop, co-working space or library. Business travelers could use the table to take meetings with other colleagues on the flight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The workspace seats would be priced above basic economy but below first class.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Exercise space and swivel chairs<\/strong>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n This mock-up from Airbus illustrates individual seats that can swivel to change the direction they face, so families or groups traveling together can form smaller pods onboard. Before passengers board, they have the option to pre-program their seat preferences, like the degree of recline, so their pod is customized to their liking when they arrive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The \u201cAirspace Cabin Vision 2030,\u201d also includes different \u201czones\u201d for passengers to sit and lounge away from their seats. For example, they propose a dedicated area of the aircraft where people can exercise and stretch, as well as a walk-up bar for people to order refreshments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Economy seats with \u2018a la carte\u2019 comfort and convenience add-ons<\/strong>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n The \u201cModulair S\u201d seat is a standard economy class seat that comes with various accessories and add-ons that passengers can select to customize their seats. Things like an eight-way headrest, double-decker tables, tablet holders and even shelves can be added to the basic seat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
