What if you never had to leave your wheelchair on a flight?

Wheelchair users are closer than ever to being able to fly on their own mobility device.

Airbus announced that it completed the first test flight of its new Airspace U Suite seating concept, a flexible pod that can be installed on aircraft that allows passengers to fly in a variety of seating configurations, including in a secured wheelchair.

Based on renderings, the U Suite appears to be configured with five or six seat spaces facing each other. The seat bottoms can fold up, enabling multiple configurations, including space for wheelchair stowage, the ability to extend a bed across the pod, or a table to allow business travelers to meet during their flight. Currently, passengers with mobility devices have to check their devices at the boarding door.

But for Airbus, the accessibility option is at the forefront of the design.

"Because your own wheelchair is a vital extension of your body for everyday mobility, having to use an airport chair is genuinely a terrible experience," Dirk Thalheim, an Airbus Design Office engineer, said in a statement.
