Last year, foreign media reported on Aviointeriors’ second version of the Skyrider seat – and this week at the Aircraft Interiors Expo in Hamburg, it unveiled another improved prototype. The new design, called the Skyrider 3.0, is very similar to the previous incarnations of the seat. However, one major difference is that it does not have a pole in between the seats to connect them to the floor and ceiling, as the previous version did. It said in a statement: “The Skyrider sitting surface is higher than a standard åseat. The company added that Skyrider 3.0 weighs 50 per cent less than standard economy seats and has a reduced number of components for “minimum maintenance costs”.
