The document summarizes two new airplane seat designs from Aviointeriors that aim to promote social distancing between passengers. The "Janus" seat has a row of three seats, with the middle seat facing the opposite direction of the aisle and window seats. Each seat also has a three-sided transparent shield to prevent breath propagation between adjacent passengers. A second design maintains more space between rows without compromising space, but exit rows could not use such a design due to safety regulations.

- 1. What economy class could look like after virus Tamara Hardingham-Gill, CNN • Updated 24th April 2020 (CNN) — It's clear flying will be di erent after coronavirus, and while some airlines are discussing the removal of middle seats to maintain social distancing, one airplane interiors company has come up with concepts for adapting economy class cabins. Italian designers Aviointeriors, the company behind the standing airplane seat, has unveiled two new seat designs aimed at keeping a safe distance between passengers "in accordance with the new requirements" without compromising too much space onboard."

- 2. The "Janus" seats are made up of a row of three, with the seat in the middle facing the opposite direction. Courtesy Aviointeriors Named after a god of Ancient Rome, the "Janus" seat has "two faces" and is made of "easy cleaning" and "safe hygienization materials." This is essentially a row of three with the passenger seated in the middle seat facing the opposite direction to those on the aisle and window seat, to ensure "maximum isolation between passengers seated next to each other." In addition, each seat is fixed with a three-sided shield "made of transparent material," to prevent "breath propagation" between those in adjacent seats. It's not clear whether these seats are intended to fill the entire cabin, but it's been noted that the exit row could not be replaced with a design such as this due to regulatory requirements, which recommend these seats have at least seven inches extra room in case evacuation is necessary.
