Technology is described for processing requested items on an aircraft. A server onboard the aircraft may identify a zoning definition for the aircraft that divides aircraft seating into a plurality of service zones. The server may receive a request for an item from a client device onboard the aircraft. The request may include a delivery location within one of the service zones of the aircraft. The server may assign the request to a crew member identifier (ID) based in part on the delivery location and the zoning definition for the aircraft. The server may transmit the request to a fulfillment computing device associated with the crew member ID.

The present invention provides an aircraft passenger accommodation unit comprising a seat, a shell that allows a passenger egress between an aisle and the seat through an opening, and a door assembly comprising a door slidable with respect to the shell between a retracted position and an extended position, a slide track attached to the shell, a slide runner for sliding along the slide track, and a connection mechanism for selectively connecting the door to the slide runner, wherein the door has a first sliding mode in which the connection mechanism connects the door to the slide runner and wherein the slide runner slides along the slide track, and a second sliding mode in which the connection mechanism does not connect the door to the slide runner and wherein the door slides in relation to the slide track. The invention also provides a door arrangement and associated methods.

Disclosed are methods and systems for identifying and addressing passenger issues in an aircraft. For instance, the method may include receiving sensor data corresponding to one or more sensors associated with a passenger compartment of the aircraft, analyzing the received sensor data to determine a condition of the passenger compartment of the aircraft, identifying one or more passenger issues occurring in the aircraft, and determining one or more response options to address the one or more passenger issues, based at least in part on the one or more passenger issues and an operational parameter of the aircraft. The method may further include communicating, the one or more passenger issues and the one or more response options to a passenger user interface or a ground control station and modifying an operation of the aircraft in accordance with one or more of the one or more response options.

An aircraft interior structure for an aircraft cabin may include a main body with a plurality of walls, where at least one wall of the plurality of walls may be shared with an adjacent passenger suite including an aircraft seat. The passenger suite may be installed at an angle relative to an aisle of the aircraft cabin. The aircraft interior structure may include a cavity defined within the main body. The cavity may be a trapezoidal shape defined at least in part by the angle at which the passenger suite is installed in the aircraft cabin. The cavity may be configured to receive a plurality of galley carts. A length of each of the plurality of galley carts may be dependent on a depth of the cavity at respective locations in the trapezoidal shape.

A resting area system and method for an internal cabin of a vehicle includes a monument, and a bed module coupled to the monument. The bed module includes one or more beds. The bed module is moveable between a stowed position and a deployed position relative to the monument.

The invention relates mainly to a closure device, notably for closing a passage formed in a cabin of an aircraft, comprising: a support means that is able to slide along a slideway in a sliding direction, a closing wall that is able to close off the passage, and a locking system that is able to take up a locked state, in which the locking system ensures a mechanical connection between the closing wall and the support means, such that the closing wall is movable with the support means in the sliding direction, characterized in that, notably in the case of a malfunction, the locking system is able to pass into an unlocked state, in which the closing wall is disconnected from the support means, such that the closing wall is movable on its own in the sliding direction.

A stowage and removal system for an accommodation space for storing rollable containers in a vehicle is provided. It preferably has a rail system in the floor region of the accommodation space, on which rail system a transfer plate is movable, which transfer plate can assume a storage position and an insertion and removal position for the container. The storage position of the container is provided with its rear wall in the region of the rear wall of the accommodation space. The insertion and removal position is provided in the region of an insertion opening, arranged oppositely in relation to the rear wall, for the insertion and removal of a container into the accommodation space.

A flooring system for enclosures or vehicles, such as an aircraft flooring architecture, includes a flooring panel with at least an upper layer, a core ply, and a bottom layer. The bottom layer of the flooring panel has a top face and a bottom face, an upper layer of the flooring panel has an upper face and a lower face, and a core ply of the flooring panel has an upper surface bonded to the lower face of the upper layer and a bottom surface bonded to the top face of the bottom layer. The bottom face of the bottom layer is located on a structural floor of an enclosure or vehicle, such as the aircraft, and the bottom layer of the flooring panel slides over the structural floor.

Devices, systems and methods for providing customized entertainment or productivity options to passengers on commercial passenger vehicles are disclosed. An exemplary method implemented by a computer on a commercial passenger vehicle includes receiving and storing from a server system communication on a memory and a display screen of a portable device of a passenger, prior to a start of a current travel segment of the commercial passenger vehicle, data for predictive preference selection during the current travel segment; determining, during the current travel segment, for the passenger, a personalized display menu of the passenger for one or more items or services from a plurality of items and services; and providing, during the travel segment, an interactive session having the personalized display menu based on the traveler profile and displayed on the display screen for the passenger on the portable device based on the determining.
