Emil Jacob: Heavenly airplane interior design

Posted on 29. Sep, 2009 by Cassandra in Design

This is what dreams are made of

THIS is what dreams are made of. Emil Jacob has designed an airplane cabin area that won’t turn you into an alcoholic to survive the trip and uses both the vertical as well as horizontal space.

Instead of having to sit upright for seemingly endless hours on end, Jacobs design allows passengers to lie down if they want to as well. Luggage space would also be increased, and instead of having to wait to put your belongings in the overhead compartments, your luggage space would simply be placed behind a set of each rows individual movable stairs; something that could possibly reduce loading time.

The designer believes that his idea would also improve the space allocation of the current Business Class sections by up to 50%.

We know that this is a far cry from reality, but please let us know if this airplane interior by Jacobs ever takes off. Long haul international flights would never be the same again. No more cramped legs, numb rear ends, or being wedged into the window seat. Absolute heaven!

The new Airbus (I think) is doing great things with the whole ‘modular’ approach to seating vs. the old ‘row-based’ one. Was it on your site that I saw it?

What I do love, though, is the innovation of going double volume. So simple and effective – why has it not been done before? Kudos to the airline that picks up on this and runs with it…

I think they are able to use up some of the luggage storage area for more people because it seems there is space for your bag at your feet – so maybe the design is not too far fetched – but i dont think ryan air is going to jump at this one!

If BA or KLM decided to revamp all of their planes travelling from CT to Vancouver with this design I honestly think I would be the happiest girl alive. It’s the least they could do…I mean geez you pay enough already…surely something like this isn’t too much to ask. LoL

I remember the space shuttle in the movie “5th Element”. That shuttle has bunk beds that are compact only one person can fit in. But that is also far from reality.

I would never really appreciate having a sleeping space while on board. I never sleep during airplane travel. But these seats will surely help those who likes sleeping while traveling on air.
