Crash safety and the need for seatbelts will limit what can be done with the interior. There won't be any lay-flat seating.


> won't be any lay-flat seating

If crash rates go down, and you have a flat surface that you’re strapped onto that is angled and has an airbag-like system to ensure as many G’s as eyeballs in or out, sure we could.


As far as my imagination goes any efficient seatbelts for a person lying down will be very painful in even a small incident if the passenger has a scrotum.
