20% more fuel efficient than the NG should be realistic, a focus on passenger comfort a priority.
Lockable overhead bins and live data feeds standard.
live data feeds sound like a good idea, locking the overhead bins in the hope this will speed evacuations, preventing passengers from taking their carry ons is not
In the heat of the moment, despite any and all PA announcements passengers will delay evacuation even further as they attempt to pry open the ‘inexplicably’ jammed bins and retrieve their duty free, etc, some will not give up until they’re found by the fire services later
It’s a well intended idea that will actually make things worse
