Is there a demand for first-class lie-flat seats on regional aircraft?
I sketched out what I believe is possible for an E195-E2 aircraft. Having two cabins at either end of the aisle wouldn't be feasible, so I added business-class seats to occupy the window-side space. I think that, depending on the market, there could be interest in 3- or even 4-class cabin configurations. Adopting first-class seats would make the aircraft lighter, potentially maximizing its range and possibly enabling 7-hour flights.
