High-density Seats Squish Penurious Passengers
Aviointeriors of Litina, Italy, garnered scads of attention and incredulous crowds at this week’s Aircraft Interiors Expo in Long Beach, Calif.

Aviointeriors of Litina, Italy, garnered scads of attention and incredulous crowds at this week’s Aircraft Interiors Expo in Long Beach, Calif. Few attendees could walk by the company’s booth without doing a double take, then gingerly planting his or her posterior on the SkyRider ultra-high-density seat. See the Skyrider seat on YouTube.

The 23-inch-pitch seat looks like a cross between a miniature horse saddle and a thinly sliced seat back. The seat does not recline and the pitch so small that one’s knees are forced in constant contact with the seat in front. Elbow room is non-existent. The arms of passengers sitting in adjacent seats intrude into each person’s personal space.
