Designer creates social distancing-friendly airplane design

French engineer Florian Barjot designed a new social distancing seat concept for
airplane rows that includes the use of barriers between aisle and window seats.

The concept also introduced head-level dividers and barriers on top of each row
to further protect passengers.

The seat add-on can be strapped to middle seats for easy installation.

Achieving social distancing on airplanes has been a tenuous struggle as airlines
are seeing rising passenger numbers but have been operating under reduced
scheduled after cutting the number of flights offered to save money.

With more people flying on fewer flights, the country is slowly seeing the
return to full flights, and airlines are doing their best to reconcile revenue
with safety.

United Airlines, while initially announcing that it would block off middle seats
from booking, is offering free changes to passengers on full flights and using
larger aircraft that offer more empty seats for spacing, according to The Points
Guy. Delta Air Lines, on the other hand, has said it will fly more flights to
prevent full-flight situations, Reuters reported.

Blocking off middle seats has gained traction with three airlines, Delta Air
Lines, Southwest Airlines, and Alaska Airlines, which have limited sales to
prevent middle seats from being selected. But the distance between the aisle and
middle seat is way less than the six feet required by the federal government's
social distancing guidelines and doesn't effectively deal with the adjacent
rows.

One designer took the drawing board to craft a new seat add-on meant to address
the issues with social distancing when flying. Take a look at the new concept.
