Double-decker con guration Zephyr Aerospace (https://republic.co/zephyr-aerospace)

You've most likely been crammed into a full airplane (https://interestingengineering.com/how-to-build-your-own-airplane), desperately trying to grab some
shut-eye on the 12-hour ight but to no avail. Your neighbor's elbow is jabbing into your ribs, the seat in front of you has reclined so far back your knees are in
pain, and there's really very little chance of sleeping seated in such a way. 

Well, thanks to the startup company, Zephyr Aerospace (https://republic.co/zephyr-aerospace), those days might be gone someday soon! Zephyr proposes a
double-decker seating option that ts on most Boeing and Airbus planes and allows passengers to lie fully at. 

Feedback
The only point to mention is that it would be for Premium Economy Class travelers. But that still makes is way more affordable than having to pay thousands for a
Business Class seat!

The Zephyr seat design would not only provide a fully at option but also more privacy and space for travelers without minimizing the number of seats available
in the cabin. The formation would remain 2-4-2 and would t into the majority of global airlines' planes.

unable to sleep on what was then the world's longest commercial ight out of Singapore. 

"I'm on probably the best rated airline in the world, and I'm getting wonderful service and the food is edible, but I can't sleep," he remembered. "This is really
uncomfortable. Why is it so dif cult to nd an affordable way to lie at on a ight that's 19 hours?" 

You can purchase add-ons for certain seats, Source: Zephyr Aerospace (https://republic.co/zephyr-aerospace)

Then O'Neill recalled a long bus ride he'd taken in Argentina where the seats were placed in a double-decker formation — and on which he was able to sleep even
though he had paid much less for his ticket. 

When tting the idea into a conventional airplane (https://interestingengineering.com/how-to-build-your-own-airplane) set up, O'Neill explained
(https://republic.co/zephyr-aerospace) "We basically retro tted a whole other seat on top of another."

"So it's essentially two levels, it's not as tall off the ground as people might imagine, it's only four and a half feet off the ground from the entry point to the lower
seat to the upper seat."

End result: more legroom, and the airline doesn't lose any seats. 

Currently, the Zephyr seat is in its mockup stage (https://edition.cnn.com/travel/article/zephyr-seat-double-decker-airplane/index.html?utm_content=2020-
