Recaro Aircraft Seating has announced an overwing exit seat for Airbus aircraft. Known as the X-Tend Seat, the design allows for an increased pax count while maintaining the requirement for a wider aisle.

The X-Tend Seat targets short and mid-range economy cabin configurations for narrow body Airbus aircraft. With an easy-to use extended seat bottom, the X-Tend Seat offers passengers a
premium seating experience while simultaneously increasing passenger efficiency throughout the cabin.

“The X-Tend Seat is an exciting addition to our competencies, as [we are] committed to providing our customers with a valuable and innovative portfolio of seating solutions,” said Dr.
Mark Hiller, CEO of Recaro Aircraft Seating . “This design collaboration with Airbus is unlike anything currently seen on the market and has been an important step in
our partnership.”
