Abstract: A slim aircraft monument is installable in an aircraft cabin adjacent to an aisle and has an upper portion, a lower portion, and a middle portion between the upper and lower portions. The monument includes a storage compartment accessible from a first side and a door on an adjacent side, the door deployable into the adjacent aisle or cabin space to reveal folding interconnected panels also deployable into the cabin space. The interconnected panels unfold into a horizontal workspace and, beneath the workspace, a series of vertically stacked storage bays capable of accommodating storage drawers and a cart bay configured for temporary accommodation of a half-size galley cart.

Abstract: A stowable auxiliary compartment panel system may include an auxiliary compartment panel, an actuation assembly, and a latch assembly. The auxiliary compartment panel may be configured to transition between a stowed position and a deployed position via the actuation assembly. The auxiliary compartment panel may be configured to secure to the monument via the latch assembly when the auxiliary compartment panel is in the deployed position. An auxiliary compartment defined within the monument may be accessible when the auxiliary compartment panel is in the stowed position. The stowable auxiliary compartment panel system may be installed within an aircraft cabin.

Abstract: A stowable flight attendant seat system may include at least one flight attendant seat. The at least one flight attendant seat may be configured to transition between a stowed position and a deployed position via an actuation assembly.

The at least one flight attendant seat may be configured to secure to a monument proximate to the at least one flight attendant seat via a latch assembly when the at least one flight attendant seat is in the deployed position. An auxiliary compartment defined within the monument may be accessible when the at least one flight attendant seat is in the stowed position. The stowable flight attendant seat system and the monument may be installed within an aircraft cabin.

Abstract: A female urinary relief device is disclosed. The device may include an intimate interface device (IID) configured to be positioned intimate with a user's body. The IID may include a tray including a raised perimeter forming a seal between the user's body and the tray. The IID may include a fluid cavity configured to capture fluid from the user's body. The IID may include a pad including a slot configured to provide an unobstructed route to the fluid cavity. The device may include a fluid removal system configured to remove the fluid from the fluid cavity and route the fluid to a storage device. The fluid removal system may include a suction sub-system configured to pull the fluid against gravity to remove the fluid from the fluid cavity. The fluid removal system may include discharge hoses configured to fluidically and mechanically couple the IID to the storage device.

Abstract: A passenger rest cabin situated in the overhead crown area of an aircraft provides individual rest compartments along either lateral side of a central longitudinal corridor of limited height. The corridor and entrance thereto is configured to minimize the risk of claustrophobia by providing sensory preparation systems and techniques. Sensory preparation including transitional compartments with variations in video, lighting and ventilation are presented to the passenger to create a more inviting space. The limited height corridor is equipped with a series of handholds, sized and spaced according to the size of the average passenger, to mitigate the strain of traversing the corridor in a bent over position.

Abstract: A slim aircraft monument includes a structure installable in an aircraft passenger cabin adjacent to a cabin space (e.g., in front of an otherwise unused exit door). The slim monument has an overall width of not more than four to six inches. The slim monument includes a side door with an external handle, the door deployable into the cabin space to reveal a group of nested interconnected panels within. The nested panels are similarly deployable into the cabin space to form a substantially horizontal work surface and, underneath the work surface, vertically stacked bays providing temporary storage for storage drawers and a cart space adjacent to the storage drawers, the cart space capable of accommodating a half-size galley cart.

Abstract: A bi-directional entry vestibule for a passenger aircraft provides passenger access to overhead rest cabins and lower-lobe rest cabins (e.g., on a lower cargo deck) via separate enclosed chambers incorporating ascending and descending staircases respectively. The ascent and descent chambers may be accessed from the main passenger cabin via access doors (one door or separate doors); the ascending and descending access doors may be on opposing sides of the aircraft (e.g., accessible from port-side and starboard-side aisles) or adjacent to each other and accessible via the same aisle. The ascent chamber may include a further transitional space transitioning into an overhead corridor-based cabin, the transitional space including a crew station comprising a fold-down jump seat, communications equipment, and emergency supply storage.

Abstract: Passenger rest compartments may be incorporated into remote areas of an aircraft, either in the overhead crown region or in lower lobe cargo decks. Each passenger rest compartment includes two-way audio communication with the flight deck and non-intrusive non-visual monitoring of the compartments and surrounding environment to determine passenger presence, absence, and general well-being as well as environmental safety. Rest compartments may be integrated into rest cabins in the overhead or lower lobe areas, the rest cabins accessible from the main passenger cabin via an entry vestibule providing dedicated enclosed paths to the overhead and lower cabins. Additional deployable egress hatches may allow passengers to rapidly return to the main deck from the overhead and lower lobe cabins in the event of an emergency. Selected passenger seats (e.g., partitioned or other premium seats) may include private access to passenger rest compartments.
