It converts between an upright sitting position and a reclining position, with the backrest folding into the same plane as the seat section. The seat is long enough for a passenger to extend their legs while sitting. In that position, part of the backrest is stored beneath the seat, reducing the sitting configuration’s usable surface area compared with the reclining configuration.
