Q4         Why don't airlines make the airplaneseats thinner in order to save 
more space on the plane?

 

A4          Vishnu Ravi,  Aviation Enthusiast | Content Creator Mon

Airlineseats have been steadily shrinking over the years, resulting in a 
decrease inthe average width of airplane seats. However, airlinespersistently 
oppose the implementation of seat size standards, arguing that studies indicate 
no impact onthe speed at which passengers can evacuate an airplane during 
emergencies.Nevertheless, let's delve into several compelling reasons why 
airlines shouldreconsider making airplane seats thinner:

Passenger comfort: The reduction in seat size oftenleads to discomfort and 
raises health concerns, particularly for plus-sizedindividuals or those with 
disabilities. It is vital to prioritize thewell-being and satisfaction of every 
passenger.

Revenue implications: Airlines have resorted tocramming more seats into each 
aircraft to maximize their revenue streams. If seats were made thinner, 
airlinesmight face the necessity of raising prices or implementing higher 
baggage feesto compensate for the reduced number of passengers accommodated in 
eachcabin.

 

Safety hazards: Shrinking seats pose a significantthreat to passenger safety, 
particularly in emergencysituations where swift evacuation is crucial. In 
recognition of this concern,Congress has urged the Federal Aviation 
Administration (FAA) to establishminimum seat-size standards aimed at 
safeguarding passengers.

Lack of regulations: Despite congressionaldirectives, the FAA has not enforced 
any regulations regarding seat legroom,width, or comfort. Instead, it permits 
airlines to pack any number of seatsinto a cabin, regardless of size, as long 
as evacuation can be accomplishedwithin 90 seconds during an emergency. This 
absence of standards increases thepotential risks faced by passengers.

Insummary, while reducing the thickness of airplane seats may optimize 
spaceutilization, it comes at the cost of passenger discomfort,health issues, 
and compromised safety. Airlines should reconsider theirresistance to seat size 
standards, as shrinking seats not only affects thewell-being of travelers but 
also poses revenue implications. It is imperativeto strike a balance between 
efficiency and passenger satisfaction whileprioritizing safety above all.

Q5         Why is a plastic water storage tankmore popular than concrete water 
tanks?

A5          Ankita Vishwash, Lived in Gurugram,Haryana, India1y

Concrete tanksare made using reinforced cement concrete (RCC) or ferrocement, 
they areundoubtedly very strong but at the cost of the inconvenience of 
additionalwaterproofing over and above RCC walls & slabs, as RCC in itself is 
notwaterproof. 

WhereasPlastic tanks in the market are usually made of polyethylene, making 
themlightweight, non-corrosive and easier to handle. It is theflexibility which 
makes plastic tanks more resilient than concrete tanks in thelonger run.

It’s ironic thatthe strength of a concrete tank doubles up as its weakness.

Talking about the storage of drinking water, concretetanks often leach lime 
thereby increasing the pH of water and imparting it adistinct taste. 

Plastic waterstorage tanks are quite lightweight. Installing and transporting 
of these tanksis quite easy due to its weight. Unlike a concrete tank which is 
basically soheavy that it needs to be moved and installed with the help of a 
crane, plastictanks can be easily moved with hands without much difficulty.

So while both plastic and concrete water storage tankscome with their own set 
of pros and cons, the former seems to be a betterchoice when provided by a 
trusted brand which can guarantee quality and yourfamily’s safety. 

With over threedecades of experience, Vectus ensures that its entire range of 
Plastic waterstorage tanks are above par in quality, technology and design. 
Vectusmanufactures an extensive range of water tanks for agricultural, 
industrial anddomestic applications revolving around Overhead Water Tanks, 
Underground Tanksand Loft Tanks.

My note- There is difficulty in cleaning PVC tanks aftermonths of usage. The 
plastic water tanks may get broken if quality is not verygood.

Currently, thereare many types of water heaters being marketed. The types of 
water heaters arebased on the heat source. Here are the types.

1. Electric Water Heater

The next is a waterheater that uses gas (elpiji gas or natural gas) to heat 
water. The way thisgas works is that wateris heated through the combustion of a

water. That’s why this typeof water heater does not need to use a tank.

4. Air Conditioning Water Heater (ACWH)

The next typeof water heater is a water heater that utilizes freon heat from 
the AC.The way it works is by transferring the heat from the freon to the 
heatexchanger to heat the water in the storage tank. For this type of water, 
youneed to make modifications to the air conditioner that you will use.

My note- new information to me.

5. Heat Pump Water Heater

Next is a waterheater type heat pump. The way this type of water heater works 
is similar tothe ACWH type. The difference is that the heat pump has been 
designed in a package with the airconditioner, so there is no need to modify 
the air conditioner.

My note- new information to me.

6. Solar Rubber Pool Heating

The last one is arubber pool water heater. This type of water heater utilizes 
the sun’s heat anduses a swimming pool asa tank. The workings of this water 
heater are very similar to solarwater heating. The difference is that this
