I'm always coming up with ideas - sometimes they are later brought to reality by someone with more skills than myself. So I will write these things down so that if they come to pass, I can say, "I thought of that, back in..." Of course, ideas I might bring to reality myself will be kept top secret until they are unleashed upon the world.

Economy passenger airline cabin revamp
Awright - anyone who's spent more than a few hours in a flying tin can has felt how poorly designed the cattle car is. So, on my last interminable flight, I devoted some thought to a revamp. Here's my notion...
The primary issue is the amount of legroom and inability to fully recline on longer flights. Answer? Get rid of the overhead storage. Stagger the seats up and down. Those sitting on the upper level (non-handicapped) will climb a set of steps (or ladder) to get to their seat. Instead of overhead storage, there will be storage in the space UNDER the elevated seats. From front to back, and in the standard set of 3 seats, the seats will be staggered up and down. This will allow seats to recline without hitting the seat behind them, because the seat behind them will be at the lower level. This will also allow more leg room.
I may have to draw a picture of this layout.
