Abstract: An aircraft seat may include an integrated control panel at least partially embedded within an armrest of the aircraft seat. The integrated aircraft seat control panel may include at least one signal path for communicatively coupling the user interface device to at least one component of the aircraft seat. The user interface device may generate signals for at least one control function of the at least one component following an input being received. The integrated aircraft seat control panel may include a textile covering coupled to the armrest and positioned above the user interface device, the textile covering including a plurality of icons configured to indicate the location of the at least one control function on a respective portion of the user interface device. At least one icon is configured to illuminate following a receipt by at least one of a power signal or a light source output.

Abstract: A console assembly and aircraft passenger seat arrangement including the same, the console assembly including a vertical back panel for affixing to a side wall of a static structure. The console assembly further including upper and lower tiers affixed to and extending horizontally from the vertical back panel, in which the upper tier is above and spaced apart from the lower tier. The lower tier may include a modular front panel for mounting electric devices, such as power ports and in-flight entertainment devices, for example. Thus, the vertical stacking of the upper and lower tiers may allow for condensed stowage space, while maintaining clear visual aesthetics without hiding useful features from view.

Abstract: An aircraft passenger seat including decoupled seat back and seat bottom elements configured to be selectively positioned with respect to spaced seat elements to allow the seat to be used for seating or storage as desired. The passenger seat is convertible by repositioning the seat back and seat bottom elements to provide conventional forward-facing seating, face-to-face seating with a longitudinally aligned and adjacent seat, or seat storage as desired. The seat back and seat bottom elements track along a track assembly affixed along facing inboard sides of fixed seat elements such as arm rest assemblies.

Abstract: An aircraft winglet light assembly is disclosed. The aircraft winglet light assembly includes an exterior skin coupled to an aircraft winglet of an aircraft. At least one interior surface of the exterior skin defines a cavity within the exterior skin. The aircraft winglet light assembly further includes one or more illumination sources housed within the cavity. The aircraft winglet light assembly further includes one or more sets of holes within the exterior skin. The one or more sets of holes are configured to allow illumination generated by the one or more illumination sources to pass through the exterior skin. The aircraft winglet light assembly further includes one or more protection elements proximate to the one or more sets of holes.
