Molon Labe Seating has introduced a version of its S2 Economy Class “Stagger Seat” that addresses both physical and respiratory protection.
This design aims to improve the safety of passengers in the Post-COVID-19 world while addressing the travel experience to offer more space, adjustable barriers, and optional direct cabin air venting to a passenger’s face.
The unique attributes of this design include:
- A large rotating, one-sided headrest that acts as a physical barrier between passengers, rotating 180 degrees to offer options for passengers traveling with friends and family.
- Staggered layout to increase lateral space whilst reducing contact points between passengers.
- Staggered armrests to further reduce contact points between passengers.
- Patented design that optionally vents fresh cabin air from the seat’s headrest directly towards the passenger’s face with controllable flow rates and direction similar to overhead cabin vents.
- Option for cellphone (Bluetooth) controlled in-flight entertainment system.
Molon Labe expects this design will address the long-term concerns that have developed as a result of the global pandemic and plans to complete the design by the end of 2020. “Our aim is to look at a long-term solution by making these post-COVID specific changes to our S2 design addressing both passenger comfort and confidence,” said Hank Scott, CEO, Molon Labe Designs.
