  • Publication number: 20150284085
    Abstract: An optimized, multi-configuration cabin and lavatory arrangement for a single aisle aircraft that adds either another row of seating or increases cabin space without sacrificing performance or function of the existing components. The invention includes a space efficient lavatory that may incorporate various design configurations to meet the needs of airlines seeking to generate additional revenue. The configuration of the present invention uses a reduction in the lavatory floor plan with the option for a modular flex wall area to provide a customizable combination that gains extra cabin space for carriers that can be utilized for additional revenue streams.

  • Publication number: 20080061606
    Abstract: A passenger seat for a vehicle includes a seat bottom and a seat back mounted to a frame. The passenger seat includes at least one storage feature. One of the storage features may be a storage unit positioned underneath the seat bottom which is moveable between a first position in which the unit is readily accessible by a seated passenger, and a second position in which the unit is held upright or against a lower side of the seat bottom to reduce the intrusion of the unit into the under-seat space. Another storage feature may be a recess formed in the upper part of the seat bottom. The recess is covered by a moveable lid which forms part of the seating surface when closed.

  • Publication number: 20050151405
    Abstract: A passenger arrangement for a vehicle includes a plurality of seats each having a backshell, a seat back, and a seat bottom. The seat back and the seat bottom are selectively movable in a coordinated manner from an upright seating position to at least one alternate seating position. The seats are disposed within a vehicle separated by a selected pitch equal to or greater than about 71 cm and less than about 140 cm in a fore-and-aft direction, such that each passenger is allotted a preselected volume of living space defined between the backshell of the passenger's seat and the backshell of the seat immediately forward of the passenger's seat. The living space of each passenger remains fixed regardless of the seating position of any of the seats.
