  • Patent number: 10569884
    Abstract: In an illustrative embodiment of an aircraft cabin passenger seating arrangement, first and second adjacent passenger seats are positioned at different angles with reference to a longitudinal axis of an aircraft, and longitudinally offset from each other such that the first seat is positioned forward of the second seat by an amount less than a length of the second passenger seat when in the lie-flat position. The first and second adjacent passenger seats may be longitudinally offset from a third passenger seat separated from the second passenger seat by an aisle, the third passenger seat disposed proximate a fourth passenger seat, such that a row of passenger seats includes two staggered groups of passenger seating. The first passenger seat may be vertically offset from the second passenger seat.

  • Patent number: 10532817
    Abstract: A passenger seating arrangement including pairings of first and second laterally-adjacent seats, wherein the first and second seats are positioned at different angles relative to a longitudinal aircraft axis and the first and second seats recline to different vertical elevations such that a bed surface of the first seat in a lay flat configuration can overlap a portion of a bed surface of the second seat in a lay flat configuration to maximize seating density.
