Just when you thought coach seats couldn't be more uncomfortable, an Italian company this week unveiled a new airplane seat that has about as much surface area as a bar stool.
The new SkyRider seat gives passengers a bit more comfort than standing up -- but not much more. The seat has been described by some observers as "akin to riding horseback."
So why would the airlines want to subject passengers to such an uncomfortable ride? Because the manufacturer, Aviointeriors, suggests that airlines could install these seats with just 23 inches of legroom space between rows. Those precious inches, known in the industry as "seat pitch," could potentially allow airlines to squeeze even more paying passengers on the same jet.
But there are questions about whether the new design would be able to meet FAA safety regulations, and whether passengers would even be willing to tolerate such a set-up.
"There's no such thing in the fleet today so it would probably be challenging to meet our requirements," FAA spokeswoman Alison Duquette told ABC News.

i feel pity for obese people
Clocks. This was posted days ago.
That looks like so uncomfortable to sit on.
But how will fat people take up 2 seats on these things ?
where will I sleep on planes.
"Airplane seats [B]will[/B] become smaller"
It doesn't say anything like that in the article?

they will need 3 now
Discriminating obese people. Ban airplanes.
Next thing you know, we'll be packed up like Star Wars battledroids.
This would only work for short flights I assume. There is no way you could sleep in that position unless you were really fucking tired.
it looks like it would be more comfortable to stand, I mean you probably couldn't fit your ass on so you would have to hold yourself up with your knees bent. And no way my mom could fly on those tiny things.
What is the purpose of the bulge in the middle of the seat aside from crushing your balls
I'm already having enough problems sitting in those fucking airplane seats they have now! I don't need more!
Wouldn't like to get a wedgie in one of those...

To support your enormous dick.
If you think those are small, you should check out the inside of a Ford Trimotor sometime.
On a side note, now you can feel like you're riding a bicycle while flying in an airplane. Joy.
That looks fucking uncomfortable.
you don't even have to be obese for these things to be annoying and possibly having to buy 2 seats. Look how small those things are
Wow i feel sorry for everyone, especially the obese.
God that looks uncomfortable.
The day those become a standard, is the day I stop flying airplanes. (except private jets, but we all know that's never gonna happen)
fuck this noise
How the hell is anyone even retarded enough to come up with that? Whoever did should be drawn and quartered.
It must be more than coincidence that all my bad experiences with flying have been at the hands of Italian airlines and now Italians have made this abomination.
I think the space between the seats is actually smaller than my thighs.
bUT I AM FAT HOW WILL I NOW RIDE PLANE?!
