Abstract: An aircraft body or fuselage is divided by a main deck (3) to form an upper deck and a lower deck. The lower deck has its own floor (5). A connecting device or several such devices, for example stairs and/or elevators, interconnect the upper deck with the lower deck in positions to facilitate central access to a plurality of lower deck facilities. Supply facilities and sanitary facilities are arranged on the lower deck to provide additional seating space on the upper deck. The lower deck may also hold resting areas, such as a lounge that may be equipped with beds, such as convertible beds. A food distribution station is arranged on the upper deck in vertical alignment with a galley on the lower deck. All the facilities of a group of facilities on the lower deck are centrally accessible.

Abstract: A ceiling baggage storage combination with lighting fixtures for an aircraft passenger cabin with two lengthwise aisles, has a central and two side baggage storage compartments. The ceiling is made of individual curved ceiling elements that extend approximately between the upper edges of the baggage storage compartments. The combination has tube-shaped fluorescent lamps arranged in a direction lengthwise to the aircraft on a respective ceiling element. The ceiling element (5, 11) is curved approximately as a parabola, whereby the less strongly curved zone extends toward the fluorescent lamp (6) which is partly covered by a cover, so that primarily indirect light enters into the cabin. A reflector (7) is arranged on the side of the fluorescent lamp (6) that faces away from and approximately parallel to the ceiling element (5, 11). The reflector (7) reflects the light emanating from the fluorescent lamp (6) primarily toward the ceiling element (5).
