關於 Butterfly 飛機座椅

Butterfly係一套靈活嘅飛機座椅系統，可以喺特選經濟艙座椅同商務艙平躺套間之間互相轉換。每個Butterfly套間包含兩張互相錯位排列嘅斜躺座椅，兩張座椅一齊出售就係特選經濟艙。機艙服務員可以將靠窗座椅翻轉，形成一張側邊梳化，為單一乘客打造商務艙套間。連埋走廊座椅一齊翻轉，就可以形成一個大型平面用嚟瞓覺。呢套系統令營運商可以根據不斷變化嘅需求調整客艙，並且高效運用地面空間。

由設計師提供嘅製作人員名單、團隊成員同技術詳情。

獨特屬性: Butterfly is a flexible aircraft seating system that allows instant transformation between premium economy and business class flatbed suites. The concept enables operators to adjust their cabin configuration to real-time market changes, allowing them to make efficient use of valuable floor-space, increase aircraft utilization and reduce business risk. It also gives passengers new ways to configure their own space, whether it is a cosy private retreat or a family-friendly social space.
標籤: Aircraft Seating, Flexibility, Transform, Airline, Business class, Premium Economy
靈感: Demand is never constant, yet aircraft configurations are usually fixed. As a passenger, I often noticed wasted space on flights. Sometimes economy class is overbooked but business class is rather empty, sometimes the opposite occurs. And as someone who have once worked in an airline, I reckon the need for an adaptable seat that can react to changing market demand. The implication to the operational efficiency is transformative, much like a caterpillar transforming into a butterfly.
項目時長: The project started in 2014 in Hong Kong and is still ongoing.
操作流程: Each Butterfly suite is made of two reclining seats staggered relative to each other. When both seats are used, they are sold as premium economy class. Airline crew can flip the window seat over to form a side couch, which turns it into a long-haul business class suite for one passenger. When the aisle seat is flipped over as well, it forms a flat surface continuous with the side couch, which together forms a large sleeping surface long enough for a passenger to lie flat diagonally.
