  • Publication number: 20170057637
    Abstract: Presently disclosed crew rest systems for an aircraft may provide an upper crew rest positioned in the crown portion of the aircraft and a lower crew rest positioned in the cargo area of the aircraft, with both the upper crew rest and the lower crew rest being accessible from a single entrance enclosure. Each of the upper crew rest and lower crew rest may include one or more bunks, or locations for a crew member to rest (e.g., lie down). Such crew rest systems may be customizable and/or modular, such that the number of bunks in the upper crew rest and/or lower crew rest may be selectively increased or decreased. In some examples, the lower crew rest may be selectively removable, and replaced with a cargo pallet or cargo container. Related methods of customizing such crew rest systems are also disclosed.
