I think this is actually a demo setup by boeing - there are track systems that the seat rows anchor into on actual aircraft, and those tracks are flush with the carpet.
ohhhh so that's where the set designers of all the star trek interiors got their ideas
Nah, Star Trek is where Boeing is shopping for ideas.
Just install two layers of beds with seatbelts, imo.
Na you can only do that in an airbus
Weight repartition and balance is extremely important in an aircraft. If everyone moved to one end of the aircraft it could cause loss of control and crash
a change in weight distribution is cited as one of the reasons for the crash of this us cargo flight in afghanistan.
It's quite scary to think that you can crash an airplane by having everyone walk to one end
This is how we, the people, shall regain power from those pilots who think they know everything!!!!
Why break the cockpit doors when you can just get a bunch of terrorists strategically running around the plane to manipulate it just at the right angle of attack to steer it towards a building?
Oh no! Tsa will be taking away our trainers next.
DO A BARREL ROLL!
Skill issue. Pilots need to learn to think on their feet.
Why can't they stay sitting?
Their seats weren't installed either
Then they can't see over the console. Surely you noticed there aren't any seats, right?
Simple solution is to pack enough people in that they can't move like that
Ya, maybe like on seats with, dunno, belts?
Sounds space inefficient just add more people instead
I mean, it's possible to have around 1100 people in a B747, so yeah that checks out
Can confirm, seats are big and heavy, that's valuable people space.
Also, remove the luggage storage for more people weight capacity.
How about just bunk beds with seat belts or some kind of restraint and a paddled ceiling inside your bed space.
The next dumb thing to having an completely open floor space is in installing seats and normalizing the idea that people should sit in them for 8, 10, 12, 14 hours periods.
The only time we need seats with restraints is in the ten minutes after take off and the ten minutes when landing .... the rest of the time, I would prefer if I just slept the entire time.
I'd give up TV, a monitor, music, a window, free food and drinks if airlines just gave me a bare bones option of just being allowed to sleep flat for the entire flight.
I feel like you could make a laying-down seatbelt (if it crashes, we're fucked anyway) and I should definitely be able to lay down proper.
There are several ways they could do stacked beds or offset-stacked reclined seats that would not only be more comfortable and provide more room for the passengers, but also allow them to cram more people in the plane.
They have that on routes to Floston Paradise.
I unironically think this is how plane travel should be. Slide me into a tube and gas me asleep. No peanuts, no crick neck, no risk of hijacking, and no praying and screaming when we slam into a mountain at 900km/h because the pilots had a bad day.
That's a thing already and it is called first class.
Could never afford it ... my point was ... I'd pay regular fare to be able to lie flat for the entire flight and you can forget giving me a TV monitor, entertainment, free food, just give me water, don't even bother with a blanket or pillow .... you can even stack me with three or four other bunks above or below me ... I don't even want a window ... I don't want to interact with your staff and I really don't want to have anything to do with anyone or bother with anyone for the entire flight ... just let me sleep in peace for eight hours, it's cheap and I really don't care or want any extras.
And you still get all the other stuff, so the only thing you have to give up is a lot of money
They could at least set up a kid corral somewhere, let the little shots wear themselves out.
Just eject them at maximum altitude
Abortion isn't legal but human rights violations aren't really being punished right now
And depending on where you're going, it would likely happen in international airspace.
