NFW

Futuristic aircraft seat unveiled

A prototype of the “NFW" (Not for Wimps) concept seat is currently on display at the Aircraft Interiors Expo in Hamburg, which is aimed at hardcore gaming fans on long haul flights.

The design features a large arc made from lightweight materials, including composite Kevlar and carbon fibre, that rises from the top of a “bucket” seat, extends above the passenger, and holds a state-of-the-art monitor.  The gaming station would also work as a “docking station”, allowing passengers to use their own devices.

The seat was created by the British manufacturers Contour Aerospace Ltd and Factorydesign and is expected to appeal to young technophiles.

If it ever goes into production.
