Horrifying simulation shows what standing flights could look like and everyone's saying the same thing

A simulation has shown whar the future of flying would look like if standing flights were brought in.

If you thought your average economy flight was bad, wait until you see how things could be if a standing option were to become a thing.

The perks of these would (hopefully) mean much cheaper flights, and it could be better for the climate as these type of 'seats' would be a lot lighter than the average chair on planes, making the aircraft itself lighter and therefore needing less fuel.

The main con?

Well, they look super uncomfortable.

An AI simulation that's doing the rounds online shows rows of being standing on a plane and simply being given a perch-like 'seat' that can hold a little bit of your body weight, but largely you'd be standing as normal.

People have wasted no time in sharing their thoughts on the video, and the general consensus is that it's a horrifying idea.

"Hard nope unless the flight is 10 minutes long," one person penned on Twitter.

"I get motion sickness and need to SLEEP on the plane, this absolutely does not work for me on any capacity," added a second.

"Don't give the budget airlines any ideas. This looks miserable," another shared, as another argued: "Standing for a 10 hours flight would be crazy."

Aside from being uncomfortable, others questioned what it would mean for passengers if the plane experienced turbulence.

A person you commented on the YouTube video said: "And then everyone sues when you go through even mild turbulence and everyone is badly injured???"

While a different person noted that this wouldn't be feasible for disabled people who use a wheelchair.

While this video was artificial intelligence, standing up flights could be a thing much sooner than you'd expect — possibly even this year.

Cue the 'Skyrider 2.0': a brand new style seat that budget airlines may introduce this year for as a little as £1 ($1.35) a flight.

These seats are described as a half-standing, bike saddle-style seat that weighs as much as 50 percent less than your usual plane seat.

The Skyrider 2.0 was initially unveiled by Avionteriors at the Aircraft Interiors Expo 2018 in Hamburg, Germany, Mail Online reports.

Avionteriors said in a statement at the time: "The Skyrider 2.0 is an innovative seat. It allows an ultra-high density in the aircraft cabin. Skyrider 2.0 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."

It continued: "Its main feature is the original bottom that ensures an increased upright passenger positon allowing installation of the seat at a reduced pitch, while maintaining adequate comfort.

"The design of this seat enables [carriers] to increase the passenger number by 20 per cent allowing increasing profits for airline companies."

Several budget airlines are rumored to be bringing in the controversial 'seating' sometime this year, Time Out reported.
