Move seats are much lighter than current ones
It must be recognized that the world of Airplane seats not going through its best moment. Due to the rise of low cost, the space between them is getting smaller, and sometimes it seems that, instead of getting better, they get worse. And that without taking into account the eternal proposal of some companies that ** we practically travel standing up **!
However, it seems that it is possible to be comfortable - the desire of travelers - without taking up too much space - the objective of airlines - thanks to Move , a new type of aeronautical seats in the prototype phase that Airbus would be implemented in the short and medium distance Economy class. He himself uses smart textiles that record and transmit information to an app that passengers can download to monitor and control their trip, receiving, for example, stretching suggestions or changing the seat mode from "sleep" to "massage" or "eating".
Companies will be able to add the entertainment options they want to Move
Thus, along the way, Move automatically adjusts to the passenger based on their weight, size and movement It's to “maintain optimal ergonomic comfort”, although these parameters can also be customized via the app to change seat tension, pressure and temperature. And no, there will be no more legroom , but, as explained to Traveler.es Josh Simpson of Layer Design -the company that has designed Move-, we will not miss it either, because this new technology "is the result of an extensive research program carried out with regular travelers to avoid major 'pain points' during a trip”.
More news? As explained by Layer, the rear central island of these seats can be adjust to passenger height and size, and the tray can be extended at will. Thus, it is possible that it changes between being a work surface to becoming an area to lean on for a nap, or even an area to place a tablet and watch a series.

Also, these seats, much lighter than the usual ones, decrease the overall weight of the plane -and they use more recyclable materials- and, therefore, their gasoline cost, which benefits the airline, but also the environment. In addition, they may make trips more hygienic, as their covers are easily and quickly removed, making it easy for are collected for washing after each flight.
On the other hand, between seat and seat there will be a space for save small devices c As laptops, freeing up space in front of the seat, where these pockets usually are - more room for your legs! These will also be connected to the app, which will notify passengers if they leave something in the compartment.
