Collins Aerospace, a division of RTX, unveiled its Helix main cabin seat for narrow-body aircraft. The Helix seat is designed to be lighter than previous generations of economy class seats, while maintaining ergonomic comfort and enhancing living space without reducing cabin density.
“Helix seating was developed with three key pillars in mind – comfort, reliability and sustainability. The contemporary design increases passenger living space and under seat stowage, while the seat back is optimized to accommodate a greater number of integrated inflight entertainment (IFE) solutions, literature pockets and full-sized meal trays.” said Christophe Blanc, vice president and general manager of Aircraft Seating at Collins Aerospace
