RECARO Aircraft Seating has unveiled its next generation of premium class seating, the R4 – which is the successor to the successful PL3530, launched in 2015.
RECARO Aircraft Seating says its R4 has been developed to combine enhanced seating ergonomics, passenger comfort and premium features while addressing the evolving needs of both airlines and passengers.
Currently ETSO-certified (European Technical Standard Order certified) for the Boeing 787, RECARO says additional certifications are in progress. “We are proud to introduce the R4, the latest addition to our Premium Class portfolio,” Mark Hiller, CEO and Shareholder of RECARO Aircraft Seating and CEO of RECARO Holding commented
“Building on the success of the PL3530, the R4 reflects our commitment to combining comfort, ergonomics, and premium features in a seating solution designed to meet the evolving expectations of both airlines and passengers”.
The R4 seat introduces a range of new features designed to further enhance the Premium Class passenger experience and incorporates a 16-inch monitor, a six-way adjustable headrest with integrated neck support, side ambient lighting and privacy wings with integrated reading light. A side console with dedicated PRM (Passengers with Reduced Mobility) access, a newly developed extra-wide single-plate tray table with a soft open/close mechanism and integrated PED holder for smartphones and tablets are also offered.
According to RECARO, the R4 allows for colour and trim and finish customisation options enabling airlines to create a distinctive Premium Class cabin tailored to their individual brand identity.
