There is no shortage of adjectives one can apply to airline seats: uncomfortable, bulky, cramped, outdated and from an airline’s point of view—overpriced. It’s no wonder then that many carriers are looking to make a change.
Dr. Mark Hiller, CEO at Recaro Aircraft Seating, notes that accommodating passengers’ personal devices has become an necessity, though one that few manufacturers have yet to address this problem.
At the Aircraft Interiors Expo in Hamburg, Germany last month, Recaro unveiled their newest design in economy seating, called theBL3530. The new seat has a tablet PC holder, a small pocket, and a power supply for charging.
The BL3530 follows another vital trend: at 10 kilograms per seat, it’s lighter than its predecessors.
"Fuel costs are extremely high these days—this is just an accepted fact in the industry. As a result, every kilogram counts," says James Lee, director of Paperclip Design Limited, an award-winning industrial design studio.
According to Benjamin Saada, Expliseat’s CEO, the CO

savings are even more significant. "Every aircraft we equip saves 1,200 tons of CO
2
per year. That’s the equivalent of planting 45,000 trees," he says. "Imagine if every airplane in the world signed on. It could completely change the global fuel emissions."
One particularly awkward feature of airline seats is their lack of multifunctionality. They recline, and that’ s about as adaptive as they get. Papercilp is hoping to change that with its new Caterpillar Convertible seat. The Caterpillar can be configured as a roomy Premium Economy seat, or converted into a Business Class seat with a lie-flat bed and direct aisle access.
"The core aim is to allow airlines to adjust their cabin capacity based on demand," says Lee.
"Flights from London to New York might have a big need for Business Class, for example, but if you use the same plane to fly to Phuket, the demand for lie-flat seats could be a lot less. This design allows the airline to adapt," he adds.
Unfortunately, there hasn’ t been a lot of demand for the innovation. "I’ ve showed the design to a lot of manufactures, and they’ll say, ’ oh, that’ s nice,’ but there hasn’ t been a lot of needs for it. The issue is cost," he says.
Though the concept may not catch on on planes, it could become a feature of seating on the ground. "It’ s more likely one day to see(the armrest)in theatres and cinemas. There are fewer regulations on the ground than in the air, so there’s less resistance to new products," he says.
Why does Recaro think theatres and cinemas will accept his innovation?
选项
A、Because they have a very spacious place.
B、Because there is fewer regulations.
C、Because they are more receptive.
D、Because they can afford dear products.
答案
B
解析
细节题。本题考查的是为什么雷卡罗认为影院和剧院会接受他的创新产品,可以定位到最后一段It’s more likely one day to see(the armrest)in theaters andcinemas.There are fewer regulations on the ground than in the air,so there’s lessresistance to new products,从这里可以看出这些地方没有那么多规章制度,所以会接受,这与B项的意思一致。因此,正确答案是B。
