Abstract: A door for crew rest compartments of cabins of means of transport comprises a lateral door leaf and a front door leaf as well as a floor element. With the door closed the floor element forms a continuation of the floor of the crew rest compartment. When compared to sliding doors, the cost of manufacture and the weight may be reduced.

Abstract: A footrest is provided that includes a footplate element, an upper swing arm, and a lower swing arm, which footrest can be arranged on a wall that faces a seat, and allows several seating positions.

Abstract: A system box for accommodating aircraft systems, and for load transmission between an aircraft structure and a crew rest compartment. The system box comprises a first, a second and a third region, wherein the three regions differ from each other. The first region is adapted attachment of the system box to the primary structure of the aircraft, wherein the second region is adapted for mechanical contact with a crew rest compartment for the aircrew. The mechanical contact in turn is adapted for load transmission between the aircraft structure and the crew rest compartment. Necessary aircraft systems are accommodated in the third region of the system box.

Abstract: According to an exemplary embodiment of the invention, a combined habitation module for the crew of an aircraft is provided, which habitation module comprises two monument units that are separated from each other by a gap such that acoustic decoupling of the two monument units from each other is provided. In this way noise propagation within the habitation module may be prevented to a large extent.
