The lengths the US will go to to avoid building high-speed rail.

These standing seats have been coming next year for the past decade, but they always failed safety tests. Planes need to be evacuated within a certain time frame, which does not work when the plane is too densely packed.

Can't they go Middle Earth on them and just create more doors?

Did the stronger younger people try pushing the frail and children out of the way during these safety tests? Because I feel like the plane world empty quickly in that scenario

That's majestic

[–] roguetrick@lemmy.world 16 points 1 day ago (4 children)

I'm 6'6". Standing only seats would be preferable to me.

[–] TaiCrunch@sh.itjust.works 20 points 23 hours ago (1 children)

I'm 5'5" and I just know my legs would dangle like a child on their first roller coaster.

This looks like a pain in the balls in case of turbulence

[–] RogueBanana@lemmy.zip 6 points 23 hours ago

Some would probably enjoy some turbulence in their ass.

passengers hanging outside not before 2030

[–] justme@lemmy.dbzer0.com 14 points 1 day ago

It sounds quiet ridiculous, but I also had some flights that were so short (~50 min) that it almost took more time to seat everybody. Anyway, I would love to read those safety reports. Not only is sitting better on impact, but also cramping more people in the same machine, means more people (which trend to not comprehend the idea of leaving their luggage behind) share the exit routes.

[–] nuko147@lemm.ee 23 points 1 day ago (1 children)

There's an idea. Flights that people can make standing, should be banned, except when there is a body of water between the destination.

Airlines: "You're not gonna believe what clouds are made of..."

[–] wieson@feddit.org 13 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I declare clouds are not a body of water, merely a spirit of water.

Honestly, I'm pretty tall and if it gives more room for my legs, I'd like to have the option

[–] WereCat@lemmy.world 48 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (4 children)

Finally more leg room... But now your head bumps against the ceiling and you need to have your head tilted for the entire flight

[–] chiliedogg@lemmy.world 5 points 20 hours ago

I have to lean sideways anyway because my shoulders are too broad and the side of the plane is round.

There's so much about flying that sucks as a big person.

My knees are folded up to my chest. I'm leaning to the right to stay off the fuselage. I can't be in an aisle seat because I'm in the way of the crew, and I have to lean forward the whole time because someone is in the seat next to me. And that person hates me.

My dread of the flying experience is why I never go on vacations.

Why do you assume there will be leg room?

So I guess no putting your head between your knees in the event of a crash then, huh?

If people actually pay for this it’s on them

[–] Croquette@sh.itjust.works 22 points 1 day ago (2 children)

If it catches on, these seats will be the base price and seated places will become premium. It will impact everyone that travels by plane.

Next step - put bicycle seats, reducent material for backs. Then add bicycle pedals for engines, to reduce fuel usage. None said anything about actually reducing ticket price by that, high prices stays forever.
