A vehicle cabin seat arrangement includes a seat rail having a first and a second side faces; a group of passenger seats held on the seat rail by holding devices resting on a top side of the seat rail; pluralities of first and second holding blocks arranged on the first and second side faces, respectively; and a plurality of stop blocks arranged on a bottom side of a holding device To every passenger seat two first or second holding blocks are assigned, between which a holding device coupled with the passenger seat is displaceable. The respective holding device, includes one of the stop blocks arranged on the bottom side of the holding device such that the stop block is bringable into contact with the two assigned holding blocks on moving the holding device on the seat rail. Passenger seats are alternatingly assigned with first and second holding blocks.

A side-facing aircraft passenger seat having a head rest, seat back, seat bottom and leg rest moveable between an upright seating position and a lie flat sleeping position, and including a plurality of air bags positioned in at least partially surrounding orientation in relation to the seat and inflatable to provide comfort and protection to a seat occupant while in the lie flat sleeping position. The seat may be oriented obliquely to the longitudinal axis of the aircraft.

Described are seating arrangements having at least one set of columns that include an aisle column of seating units positioned adjacent a wall column of seating units. The aisle column is positioned adjacent an aisle, and the wall column is positioned adjacent an exterior wall. Each seating unit has a bed position having a head end and a foot end, wherein at least a height-limited portion of the foot end is less than a delineating height that separates a lower portion of the aisle from a upper portion of the aisle. The seating units in the adjacent columns are longitudinally aligned and positioned adjacent one another, as well as being angled with respect to each other. The height-limited portion of the foot ends in the aisle column is positioned adjacent the aisle, and the height-limited portion of the foot ends in the wall column is positioned within a concave portion of the exterior wall.

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.

A vertical take-off and landing (VTOL) aircraft provides transportation to users of a network system. The network system may include multiple aircraft or other types of vehicles to provide multi-model transportation. An aircraft may include a fuselage, a truss coupled to the fuselage, and multiple distributed electric propellers coupled to the truss. The distributed electric propellers may be positioned on at least two different planes. The fuselage may include a cabin having one or more seats for the passengers arranged in a configuration that has a compact footprint, provides legroom, provides visibility to surroundings of the aircraft, or facilitates convenient ingress or egress of passengers. The aircraft may open a port cabin door and starboard cabin door for simultaneous ingress or egress of passengers.

An aircraft passenger seating system comprises an array of floor panels (4) fixed within an aircraft cabin deck section (1), the floor panels (4) providing an array of discrete fixing means for removable attachment of a plurality of passenger seating units. The seating units may be of mutually different configurations each having a common footprint, such that the different configurations are interchangeable without having to re-arrange other seating units. The common footprint may be provided by a common size and shape of floor panel (4) or the floor panels (4) may provide a regular array of discrete fixing means such that the configurations may be positioned regardless of the position of the floor panels (4).

A deployable ottoman extension fills the gap between the ottoman and fully reclined oblique aircraft seat. The deployable ottoman extension can pivot out from the ottoman about a pivot point and/or slide out along a rail. Alternatively, the ottoman extension may be hinged to the ottoman to deploy by flipping down. The deployable ottoman extension may include deployable support features that extend to the aircraft floor when deployed.

Described are base frame assemblies (10) for a passenger seat including a main frame (12) with a seat support structure (16) and a lateral support structure (18), wherein the lateral support structure (18) includes two seat fittings (28), and the seat support structure includes one seat fitting (30), and a secondary frame (14) pivotally coupled to the main frame (16), wherein the secondary frame (14) includes one seat fitting (50). A passenger seat (20) and a surrounding monument (26) are mounted to the base frame assembly (10).

A passenger cabin of an aircraft includes a seat arrangement that includes a number of seat assemblies. The seat assemblies include a seat structure having a seat backrest forming a backrest surface the and a seat cushion element forming a seat surface, and a passenger space partition, which spatially partitions a passenger space of the seat and which at least partially surrounds the seat structure and leaves open an access to the seat structure. The seat cushion element is moveable between a comfort position, in which the seat cushion element projects further into the access in order to provide a larger seat surface, and an access position in which the seat cushion element does not project as far or does not project at all into the access in order to make possible a wider access.

Described are seating arrangements having at least one set of columns that include an aisle column of seating units positioned adjacent a wall column of seating units. The aisle column is positioned adjacent an aisle, and the wall column is positioned adjacent an exterior wall. Each seating unit has a bed position having a head end and a foot end, wherein at least a height-limited portion of the foot end is less than a delineating height that separates a lower portion of the aisle from a upper portion of the aisle. The seating units in the adjacent columns are longitudinally aligned and positioned adjacent one another, as well as being angled with respect to each other. The height-limited portion of the foot ends in the aisle column is positioned adjacent the aisle, and the height-limited portion of the foot ends in the wall column is positioned within a concave portion of the exterior wall.
