An innovation that Will Transform the Airline Experience

7 Innovations that Will Transform the Airline Experience

Here comes the solution we have long awaited. The innovative Paperclip Armrest features a double-decker design that lets two people share without touching. Finally, there could be elbowroom, even in the middle seat.And Lee’s design isn’t a flight of fancy. He told Yahoo that he has been hired by an aircraft seat manufacturer to design an economy-class model that will go into production soon.The award-winning idea by Hong Kong-based Paperclip Design has taken flight—at least on the Web. ”The idea for the armrest came about when I was at a seminar in a crowded lecture room while studying at MIT,” the 30-year-old Paperclip Design Director James Lee told Yahoo Travel. “The guy next to me was using the armrest, and I had nowhere else to put my arms, and I realized if the armrest had more level[s] I could have rested my arm underneath his elbow.”

As for me, I cannot wait to have that on air planes. Tired much of elbow fights or better still......the survival of the biggest elbow.
