An airline seat is a seat on an airliner in which passengers are accommodated for the duration of the journey. Such seats are usually arranged in rows running across the airplane's fuselage. A diagram of such seats in an aircraft is called an aircraft seat map. Within the industry, this map is known as a LOPA (Layout-Passenger Accommodation).
An aircraft seat map or seating chart is a diagram of the seat layout inside a passenger airliner. They are often published by airlines for informational purposes and are of use to passengers for selection of their seat at booking or check-in.
Current operational configurations show passenger capacities ranging from 379 (4-class layout in Singapore Airlines) to 615 (2-class layout in Emirates). [1] [2] Since late 2015, Emirates has operated aircraft seating 615 passengers in two classes on the Copenhagen route, replacing the Boeing 777. In total, 15 aircraft have this configuration.
A380 economy seats are up to 48 cm (19 in) wide in a 10-abreast configuration, [213] compared with the 10-abreast configuration on the 747-400 that typically has seats 44.5 cm (17.5 in) wide. [214] On other aircraft, economy seats range from 41.5 to 52.3 cm (16.3 to 20.6 in) in width.
Business class is almost replacing first class: 70% of 777s had first-class cabins before 2008 while 22% of new 777s and 787s had one in 2017.Full-flat seats in business-class rose from 65% of 777 deliveries in 2008 to nearly 100% of the 777s and 787s delivered in 2017, excepted for low-cost carriers having 10% premium cabin on their widebodies.
The combination of increased carrier size, speed requirements above 30 knots (35 mph; 56 km/h), and a requirement to operate at sea for long periods mean that modern large aircraft carriers often use nuclear reactors to create power for propulsion, electricity, catapulting airplanes from aircraft carriers, and a few more minor uses.
The 7J7 was to have a twin-aisle [1] (2+2+2) seating configuration, giving a wide and spacious cabin for its class, with no passenger more than one seat from an aisle. Alternatively, the aircraft could fit a high-density, seven-abreast (2+3+2) seating configuration with 17-inch wide (43 cm) seats and 18-inch wide (46 cm) aisles.
With a 9-across configuration, it is designed to replace the A340-600 and compete with the Boeing 777-300ER and 777-8. Airbus estimates a 366-seat -1000 should have a 35 tonnes (77,000 lb) lighter operating empty weight than a 398-seat 777-9, a 15% lower trip cost, a 7% lower seat cost, and a 400 nmi (740 km; 460 mi) greater range.
