The middle would be by far the most comfortable seats on the plane. Those
window seats are going to have a interesting ride.


The way I see it, only the vertical accelerations resulting from bank
initiations may possibly be objectionable to passengers. The rate of
bank initiation is under (auto)pilot control, so theoretically it
could be kept below that threshold.

Do you see ride quality problems in straight and level flight for
passengers seated well displaced from the longitudinal axis of the
aircraft?
