Airbus designs a seat with storage but with less legroom

Airbus has designed an airplane seat, and filed for a patent, for a seat that has storage under the seat cushion. With this extra storage though, passengers would be unable to stretch their legs under the seat in front of them.

Airbus noted in their patent filing that the design could be used on planes, buses, cars or trains.

I love the idea of better storage space, but I'm not ready to put my legs in the overhead! I'm sure this design would work well with 40" pitch, but not with 30-32" as we mostly get. 

But perhaps if they made the bins about half the depth shown in the design, there might be footroom and storage.

The best part of every trip is realizing that it has upset your expectations
