HAECO
REDEFINING PREMIUM
HAECO Cabin Solutions’ Eclipse Cabin enhances the premium cabin
experience while optimising the LOPA
A
new seat has been developed by
HAECO Cabin Solutions, with the
aim of redefining single-aisle
business class and twin-aisle premium
economy. Named Eclipse, the seat is novel
in design and unmatched in the industry,
delivering an enhanced business-class
experience with greater living space,
comfort and privacy, achieved through
patented seat construction and placement.
The technology incorporated into the
Eclipse seat makes it desirable to
customers and financially viable to
airlines. Doug Rasmussen, president and
group director of HAECO Cabin Solutions
explains, “With Eclipse, airlines can offer
a completely new class of service – a
premium customer experience that offers
the potential for a higher yield. In addition,
Eclipse offers a distinct advantage through
a more flexible layout. With installation
at a traditional premium-economy pitch
range, the seat allows for additional
passenger count in the same footprint.”
Eclipse’s value is realised through
business-class-plus amenities in a
non-lie-flat seat, including enhanced
zero-G comfort, full passenger control
of personal space, improved privacy and
easier egress.
HAECO has focused on comfort in the
resting, working and sleeping positions for
the Eclipse seat. The zero-G articulation
system is, literally and figuratively, the
perfect balance: it’s more comfortable
than a conventional upright seat and
offers a better passenger count than
a lay-flat seat. Innovations have also been
incorporated to enhance support for the
head, neck and shoulders with HAECO’s
Arc headrest, along with side cradling that
enhances support for the lumbar, spine,
buttock and thigh areas in the zero-G
articulation system.
An enhanced seat geometry provides
passengers with more personal space.
The staggered seat configuration prevents
passengers from sitting side-by-side
and allows for an optimised centre
console that doesn’t have to be shared.
