Collins Aerospace has recently introduced a new economy class seat specifically designed for single-aisle aircraft. The seat, named Helix, is focused on reducing weight without compromising passenger comfort during flights. The updated frame design of Helix offers numerous benefits, such as improved seat back angles for passenger comfort and better cushion integration for increased product life and consistency across cabins.
Helix utilizes composite materials with a high strength-to-weight ratio to help minimize weight compared to previous seat generations, resulting in reduced fuel burn and emissions. Additionally, the new seatback design allows for enhanced integration of inflight entertainment solutions, tray tables, and literature stowage.
Although Collins Aerospace has not revealed any confirmed customers, they have mentioned being in discussions with several airlines to introduce Helix to the market. The company anticipates that Helix will be ready for airline installation by mid-2026.
