Write the request
Seats, classes, what to maximise.
First, because only you know the brief.
The cabin you fly for 15 years deserves every idea tested.
smartLOPA does it for you in minutes.
Write the cabin you need in plain words, in any language. The engine draws every layout that fits, checks each against the regulatory requirements and recommends the best.
- 15 minper iteration
From brief to checked layouts. Ten rounds fit in an afternoon.
- KPIsfor every layout
Seats, pitch, lavatories, side by side.
- 100%of layouts checked
Every one the engine draws, not only the one you pick.
- ∞iterations
The more you explore in the same time, the likelier you find the layout that truly fits.
01The problem
Your request. Your decision. Everything in between is not yours.
Every version of a cabin goes through the engineers who will later build it, and takes weeks.
Your request
weeksEngineers draw, check, count, price
Your decision
Each round takes weeks, so the timeline allows only a few, and the decision rests on whichever came last.
02How it works
You write the brief and make the decision. The engine does the middle.
2You
Check the inputs
The brief becomes numbers: seats, pitch ranges, objectives, each with its source.
Before the engine runs, so nothing is guessed for you.
3Engine
Compute and recommend
Every layout your inputs allow, computed and checked, optimised towards your objective, the best ones recommended.
Only now, so the search starts from inputs you have confirmed.
4You
Decide
Three layouts, drawn to scale, with their KPIs and every check.
Three, because a decision needs a comparison.
Not right yet? Change one input and run again.

Built for the moments a cabin gets decided.
- 01
Cabin retrofit
Often used by airlinesFull or partial: rework every class of a flying cabin, or just one, and see what it gains against today.
“Retrofit our cabin: keep 42 business, replace premium economy with 32 seats at 38 in, maximise economy seats.”
- 02
Fleet procurement campaign
Often used by airlines and consultantsLine the options up in LOPA Compare: each against a baseline you pin, with only what differs shown.
“Compare three cabins for a new order: 30, 40 and 48 business seats, at least 280 seats in total.”
- 03
Lease transition
Often used by lessorsTake the aircraft from one operator's cabin to the next one's, and see what has to change.
“Outgoing cabin: 42 business, 24 premium economy, 263 economy. The next lessee wants two classes: 36 business, economy at 31 in. Keep the galleys where they are.”
- 04
Asset due diligence
Often used by lessors, investors and consultantsJudge a cabin against the market before you buy or finance it.
“Is 42 business, 24 premium economy and 270 economy a typical cabin for this aircraft? Show where it is dense.”

If the layouts are useful, the free pilot starts from there: three to four weeks on your own project, with named accounts for your team.
