The Knee Defender is specially designed for coach-class flyers who need protection from reclining seats. Due to the controversial nature of the device, all major U.S airlines have prohibited this device on their aircrafts due to the conflicts it can create between passengers. Cet accessoire est conçu spécifiquement pour les passagers de classe touriste qui ont besoin de protection contre les sièges qui s'inclinent. Grâce à la nature controversée de cet appareil, toutes les grandes compagnies aériennes américaines ont interdit l'utilisation du Knee Defender en raison des conflits qui peut survenir entre les passagers.
Function
The Knee Defender is an airplane accessory that was used by passengers. When the Knee Defender was hooked onto the food tray compartment of the seat in front of the passenger, it would disable that seat from reclining; thus guaranteeing more space for the passenger. Cet accessoire d'avion était utilisé par les passagers. Lorsque l'appareil était accroché sur le plateau de nourriture du siège en avant du passager, ceci fait en sorte que le siège n'est pu capable de s'incliner et garantie plus d'espace pour ce passager.
Technical
