The design shown in the prototype model also gets rid of the overhead cabin space. The design incorporates a separate space between the two level of seating that can take care of the combined luggage belonging to all six travellers

The prototype has generated mixed emotions among the people, but Alejandro Núñez Vicente believes the design can be implemented in a Boeing 747, Airbus A330 or any other medium to large wide-body airplane in the near future
