Abstract: A folding chair assembly for dual use as a wheelchair or a flight attendant's seat onboard a commercial passenger airplane. The folding chair assembly can be manipulated into any of the following modes: (1) fully retracted into a compact assembly that can be stowably secured by a plurality of catches against a vertical wall in the passenger compartment of an aircraft; (2) with the chair assembly still secured to the wall, the seat pan is pulled down against a seat return spring and is usable as a flight attendant's seat; and (3) the folded chair assembly is completely detached from the plurality of retaining catches and fully extended to function as a wheelchair that is usable down the aisles of commercial passenger aircraft.
