Since the beginning of the airline industry
there have been few fundamental
improvements in seating comfort. With the fast
growth of air travel, the demand for sleeping
accommodations on long distance flights is
rapidly increasing.

Jacob Innovations LLC has developed a number of
models that capture vertical space to improve comfort
and density.

The various models provide concepts to how vertical
space can best be captured as a function of passenger
density and comfort.

FLEX-SEAT

Vertical space captured through steps designed for
access to a second tier

BUSINESS FLEX-1

Every other seat is raised by a hight of approximately
two steps.

Combines the FLEX-SEAT and the BUSINESS-FLEX2
models.

Concept designed for aircraft with limited vertical
space available, such as the upper deck of a Boeing
747. Passenger on the second tier seats laterally to
the first tier passenger - unlike with the FLEX-SEAT
model where second tier passenger is fully above
the first tier. Side row is alternate elevated seats
