Collins Aerospace has revealed that it has secured three launch customers for its “Helix” economy class seat designed for single-aisle aircraft. The announcement was made to coincide with the Aircraft Interiors Expo (AIX) held in Hamburg, Germany.
The seat is designed to meet travel needs on single-aisle aircraft and features a design that offers tactile comfort and selectable amenities. It also provides more living space and comfort than previous-generation seats. By reducing the number of parts and overall complexity, it can also deliver a cost advantage.
The seats will be installed on approximately 200 Airbus A320 and Boeing 737 aircraft. The seats are currently under development and are expected to be shipped in line with aircraft delivery schedules around the end of 2027.
Steve Cox, vice president and general manager of Commercial Seating, commented, “As our airline customers’ fleet configurations and network strategies continue to evolve, they are looking for cabin solutions that will support narrowbody aircraft operations over the next decade. These launch customers reflect strong demand for the optimal comfort, efficiency, and durability that Helix can provide to support a new era of single-aisle aircraft.”
