The aviation industry, one of the sectors most impacted by the pandemic, is experiencing both direct and indirect effects. While the economic ramifications of travel restrictions are evident, there are also significant sociological changes. Passengers now seek increased personal space, greater hygiene standards, and equipment that is easier to clean. In response to these evolving needs, Formeta Design has developed S-Pro, a cutting-edge no-touch plane seat concept. This innovation aims to redefine the in-flight experience by allowing passengers to control all aspects of their seat and environment through a smart device. By eliminating the need to touch any other surfaces, except for sitting, S-Pro enhances both convenience and hygiene.
The heart of S-Pro’s functionality lies in its mobile app, which serves as a remote control for the seat. This app ensures that passengers can enjoy a comfortable and personalized journey by adjusting the seat’s moving parts. Whether reclining the seat, opening the footrests, or adjusting the headrests to their desired height, passengers have full control. In addition to seat adjustments, the app offers the ability to communicate with flight attendants, order meals, and engage with in-flight entertainment, including video content and audio through an innovative sound system. The app ensures that every aspect of the flight experience is tailored to the passenger’s preferences.
A key feature of the S-Pro design is the square screen unit, which maximizes the display size and allows passengers to control other features while watching videos in a 16:9 format. The screen is positioned in such a way that even if the passenger reclines their seat, the screen remains at the optimal viewing angle. To further enhance the passenger experience, S-Pro includes a charge and docking deck, ensuring that smart devices can be continuously charged and function as remote controllers throughout the flight.
Through these innovations, S-Pro offers a seamless, hygienic, and personalized flight experience for every passenger, marking a new era in aviation design.
