Being frustrated with a lack of legroom, the 21-year-old set out to design a new seating model for airplanes. N\u00fa\u00f1ez Vicente has taken a hiatus from the Delft University of <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/technology\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"4\" title=\"Technology\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Technology<\/a> in order to pursue this project, which is titled the Chaise Lounge Airport seat and is currently in the prototype phase. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf you asked me before, I would have said maybe it\u2019s just a university project. If you asked me now, after all the hard [work], after all the effort of many, many people \u2014 I would say that now this is more of a reality.
