There is no shortage of adjectives one can apply to airline seats: uncomfortable, bulky, cramped, outdated and from an airline’s point of view—overpriced.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 there is not a lot of demand for Recaro’s innovation?
选项
A、Because it is more expensive.
B、Because it takes too much space.
C、Because it is too heavy.
D、Because it do not fit the plane.
答案
A
解析
推断题。本题考查的是为什么雷卡罗的设计没有很大的需求,可以定位到文中倒数第二段的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,’butthere hasn’t been a lot of needs for it.The issue is cost.”he says.从这里可以看出主要问题是花费的问题,即太贵了。因此,正确答案是A。
