Just so. August 1994, when I was over from the UK looking at JSF drawings in the Skunk Works, helping NAVAIR come to a view in weights @Hush_Kit

It is an awesome article, but the ultimate steel miracle bomber is of course not the Valkyrie but Boulton Paul Bodmin. I do not make the rules.
The lengths to which British aviation went, in order to avoid aluminium, were truly incredible.

A few issues, the reclined seat will block the evacuation of those behind you as their space will be restricted. This space restriction may also cause injury to the traveller behind if there’s an abrupt stop (they’d get thrown forward and strike the reclined chair/person in it). Lastly, in the event of a more serious incident the chair design is such that it gives most strength in the upright position, up to 16G deceleration. It’s a certification thing.

Genuinely would love for someone in the airline industry to explain the impact of having a reclined seat for takeoff
