Unum to showcase business class seat at AIX

Unum Aircraft Seating is to showcase the company’s new Unum One business class seat at the Aircraft Interiors Expo alongside a virtual reality cabin.

The company says visitors will be able to physically sit in the outward facing herringbone layout with full lie flat bed and witness the infinitely adjustable seat positions on offer. A virtual reality headset will enable guests to experience Unum One in widebody and single aisle aircraft, move around the cabin, interact with the seat, privacy door, and adjustable monitor.

Chris Brady, Executive Chairman and CEO, Unum, commented: “Over the last few months our team has been dedicated to developing a seat that people can experience and interact with during AIX. Unum One has been developed to deliver a consistent product across both widebody and narrowbody aircraft, so we wanted to show our prospective customers the seat in both settings and with the latest VR technology we have created a truly amazing representation that does exactly that!

“Unum One has so many features that we wanted to demonstrate, from the Zero Gravity seating position to the available space around the seat and the footwell area. We are looking forward to showcasing our hard work during the show and will have our newly appointed Chief Technical Officer, Mark Hacker at our stand, who will play a key role in the continued development of Unum One.”

Conference attendees can experience the Unum One in person at Stand 6E56 in Hall B6 at AIX.
