Share

Mirus is to launch its highly anticipated new recline economy seat, Hawk Duo, at Aircraft Interiors Expo in Hamburg. 

Designed to meet the most demanding needs of the single-aisle economy cabin world, Hawk Duo offers exceptional levels of passenger comfort and living space. With sustainable design at its core, Hawk Duo is more than 20% lighter than its predecessor, reducing the cost of ownership and ongoing maintenance through its life cycle.

Designed to address the highly competitive mainstream single aisle economy seat market, Hawk Duo immediately sets the new standard for passenger living space and comfort and offers benchmark weight of less than 8.5kg/PAX without compromising performance or robustness.

Ideal for mainline Airbus and Boeing single aisle operators operating full recline economy cabins, or as a more premium offering when paired with its stand-out Kestrel fixed recline seat, Hawk Duo will be certified later this year for first deliveries in Q1 2026.

With the Mirus signature design DNA, the sculpted seating surfaces have undergone rigorous design, pressure mapping and testing procedures. The slimline armrests maximise seat width and space, and a generous 5” mechanical recline all combine to provide one of the most comfortable seats available.

 

“Hawk Duo is the product of outstanding teamwork, utilising our standard Kestrel platform and adding the recline and features options typically expected of a mainstream economy seat. What sets it apart is Mirus’ contemporary and modern design, enabling incredible levels of comfort and leg room.

“We also believe Hawk Duo is the most sustainable seat in its class, with its lifecycle lending to its green credentials"

Marcus Williams - Global Sales & Marketing Director

With Mirus’ commitment to following best-in-class sustainability practices, the new Hawk Duo sheds almost 20% of weight compared to its predecessor, making it one of the lightest seats in its category dramatically reducing fuel burn and C02.  With a focus on simplicity in design, a low parts count and not layering components together with a higher than typical abuse and cyclic testing during development, the Hawk Duo is designed to offer exceptional reliability in service.  Highly re-cyclable and fully tested at the world class Mirus on-site dynamic test facility MTEST, the Hawk Duo is arguably the most sustainable economy seat available through its lifecycle.

Optional features available to address the needs of the most brand conscious of airlines include power/USB integration, PED holders, various comfort foam and headrest options, and the ability to customise the colour, material and design of dress covers.

Mirus Aircraft Seating is offering viewings of the Hawk Duo to airline delegates at Aircraft Interiors Expo in Hall 6, Stand 6A70. To arrange a viewing, delegates can email sales@mirus-as.com.
