NEW: 'Standing' airplane seats, which can increase passenger capacity by 20%, may be unveiled in 2026, according to the Daily Mail.

Unreal.

The seats force passengers to sit up higher, so Airlines can place the seats closer together.

The "Skyrider 2.0" seat also weighs XX% less, meaning the airplanes can also save on fuel costs.

"Skyrider XXX opens the travelling experience to a wider passenger market, creating also a useful space for the introduction of mixed classes boarded on the same aircraft," the seat company, Aviointeriors, said.

The seats have a bike-like seat that travelers will straddle and would likely be implemented for shorter flights. 

The following video was filmed back in 2018 with Aviointeriors CEO, Ermanno de Vecchi.
