Reason for optimism in 2023? Better airline middle seats with a CU Boulder connection
A new article on reasons to be optimistic in 2023 features airline seat technology with ties to the University of baby直播app Boulder.
Hank Scott is a lecturer in the Ann and H.J. Smead Department of Aerospace Engineering Sciences and the CEO of Molon Labe Seating.
His company aims to improve a major bane for airline passengers everywhere: the middle seat. They have developed a patented-staggered layout that offers increased width, a wider middle seat and staggered armrests.
The Washington Post spotlights it in a feature article that begins by noting that "the 2020s haven鈥檛 offered a surplus of cheer so far", and goes on to discuss seven different things that "might actually improve in 2023."
Scott says the seat would be a plus to travelers who generally avoid the middle seat at all costs.
鈥淵ou wouldn鈥檛 be angry and in a bad mood,鈥 he said. 鈥淵ou鈥檇 get off the plane happy.鈥
The section on Scott's company is the final item at the bottom of the article.
