New Airplane Seat Concept Folds To Accommodate Wheelchair Users And Make Flying A Lot More Accessible
Delta Flight Products (DFP), a subsidiary of Delta Airlines, has revealed a new aircraft seat concept that allows wheelchair users to remain in their own seats throughout the flight.
This concept seamlessly and stylishly converts to a traditional airplane seat, with a built-in seat that folds down to accommodate a wheelchair. It also does not require any structural changes to the aircraft and can be installed on pre-existing seat rail systems. This design would be a low-cost modification, and the wheelchair version would likely be priced about the same as standard first-class domestic seats.
This new design is seen as an important step towards inclusion and accessibility in air travel for people with disabilities and has generated great interest among wheelchair users. It could potentially enter commercial use within 18 months if it passes testing and is adopted by airlines.
The seat was developed in collaboration with the Air4All consortium, which includes PriestmanGoode, Flying Disabled, SWS Certification and Sunrise Medical.
