Delta's New Seat Design Revolutionizes Air Travel for Wheelchair Users.
Delta Flight Products (DFP) has revealed a new airplane seat concept that allows wheelchair users to stay in their own chair throughout a flight. The built-in seat folds up to allow a wheelchair to be docked into place and would be installed into pre-existing aircraft seat track systems, so would not involve any structural change to the airplane. The design is generating significant buzz among wheelchair users who could be among potential customers. It’s hoped that the concept could enter commercial use within 18 months if it passes testing and is adopted by airlines.
