Everytime I see these I always take solace in one simple fact. This would never be able to pass any disability or accessibility act.
“We’ll just put the disabled passengers in the cargo hold. Problem solved.”
If I pretend to be disabled can I fly there too?
free sedation! *with service charge
I’ll pay extra for good drugs
… I could fly with my dog then? (I’ve not traveled with her, because being alone in the cargo sounds like a torment I would not wish on anyone). But if I can be there, too, that’s a whole other scenario
Not to mention safety requirements for rapidly escaping a plane in the event of an emergency
They only put them down the center with regular seats along the windows.
First class, second class, cargo class.
I’m gonna be real, I totally forgot that planes have middle lanes. Every plane that I’ve ever been on has been a relatively small in comparison. Some of them fucking frighteningly so. When my knees are touching the back of the pilot I’m usually having concerns other than the legroom.
Imagine trying to evacuate in a rush. Also, deep vein thrombosis.
If you can’t afford business class seats, are you even worth saving?
Dvt would likely be less of an issue with your legs out vs bent at the knee. Less gravity for your heart to fight against.
DVT is an issue if you’re immobile for any decent length of time. Your position doesn’t really matter too much. That’s why they want you up and walking immediately as soon as possible after a surgery and why they will often put patients with an extended stay in the hospital on blood thinners.
True, though it would be horrifically uncomfortable to be forced to sit like that for 4 hours without the ability to shift positions.
God, that’s totally true. I can’t imagine how they would try to make that work.
With your face right at prime fart receiving level. Wtf.
Even for the people who would get off on that, their joy would turn to frustration when the flight attendant asked them to stop masturbating.
This guy right here officer
The Pink Eye Express.
Sounds like a real gas, man.
This seems incompatible with a pretty high proportion of Americans.
Y’all getting kinda thicc too, no offense.
It’s funny because you don’t know which country he’s from but it still applies anyway because everyone is getting fatter
Tremendously incompatible, if 1/10 of what is portraid on movies is true.

I don’t absolutely hate it, but I’m 6’3", so fully stretching my legs out on a plane is always just a pipe dream.
I’m sure they’d make them fit only average size people, unfortunately.
Do you see how that lady’s feet are? They’re probably up against a wall, and I don’t think she’s 6’3”
Same height, same dreams.
As another tall person my knees ache just looking at this photo
Window seat dude needs to take a piss, watch the fun …
Also, why the fuck is she smiling?!
I think these only go down the center based on the photo.
She’s smiling because she’s being paid to smile.
Acting!
One day they’ll invent super-economy class where you just get strapped to the wings and released over your destination. Parachutes will cost extra.
At least there’d finally be room.
Not going to get much repeat business, but on the other hand, you wouldn’t have to worry very much about hi-jacking.
Nah they just charge you for not flying
But what it they will hi-jack engine?
I think they should just have rows of bunk beds. It’s much easier to stack something flat than people with their awkward bends at the hips and knees.
unsurprisingly the ship and train industry figured this shit out like literally a century ago
The airlines can maximize that idea as well. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brooks\_(1781\_ship)#/media/File:Slaveshipposter.jpg
God, I would love that. I can’t sleep sitting up, even when I’m really tired. Long plane rides are torture.
Pretty soon they’re just going to roofie people and pack them into planes like sardines.
Multipass!
They could just tip the nose of the plane 90 degrees in the air and then have a slide or funnel that dumps you into the fuselage. You’ll just want to be sure to buy first-class tickets so that you’ll be at the top of the pile.
Get a tamper to pack em in a little
at that point just give me general anaesthesia and put me in an airline shipping coffin so at least i don’t have to be conscious for the horror show
Someone somewhere just pulled out some graph paper and is sketching a concept.
12 hour flight. The fail-safes fail. Something goes wrong with the anesthesia and you’re awake for the entire thing
Still better hab Ryanair!
That doesn’t actually look to bad considering what we have today
Right at fart smelling level
In a sealed pressurised container I’d assume fart smelling was mandatory.
These people smile like they’ve never rode in an airplane with more than 3 people
There are laws regulating how to transport pigs and cows to the slaughterhouse. They have more space than the passengers on this plane.
As a taller person, if this gives me sufficient legroom and a seat that actually distributes the weight over my whole thighs such that I can sit somewhat comfortable, this seems like a major upgrade to me.
In the case of any serious accident or emergency you’re very likely to lose both your legs.
They shouldn’t be too hard to find though
It’s a flying soda can; in the event of a serious accident you’re likely to lose your head.
You’re even more likely to die.
Totally agree. Having recently done 13 hours in economy, the fact my knees are constantly wedged against something and I can’t straighten out is the biggest discomfort. I don’t speak Italian so I don’t need acres of room to swing my arms around, lift the person in front up and give me leg room instead!
I imagine that would make emergency deplaning take a lot longer to the point lives could be lost if there were a fire.
