Professional patent purveyor Airbus released its hottest innovation to date, a potential seat solution that has all the comfort of a park bench.

As Business Insider reports, Airbus is adding to its long line of classic aviation patents with bench seating that would pepper the skies with versatility and comfort.

Various configurations follow below and can be seen in full at Airbus’ filing to the United States Patent and Trademark Office.

Then there is an option for two people who would normally purchase two seats to satisfy their healthy proportions. Now they can just take up space on what is essentially a park bench in the sky.

Lastly, there is an option for that couple who were intelligent enough to stop their brood at two, which means they can now take up an entire bench for themselves.

Contrary to what you previously believed, there is a way, in 2016, to patent the brilliance that is the bench.
