An aircraft seating module (20) includes a seating mount (26) having a horizontal mounting rail (28) integrally joined to a vertical mounting post (30) at an adjoining elbow (32). The rail (28) includes a mounting boss (34) longitudinally spaced from the post (30) for attachment to an aircraft cabin seat track (18). Both the rail (28) and post (30) include mounting holes (38) for attaching a passenger seat (22) and appended furniture (24) directly to the seating mount (26) and in turn indirectly to the seat track (18) in the cabin floor (12).

An embodiment is a system including an external passenger seating unit comprising at least one seat; and a translation mechanism for translating the external passenger seating unit between a first position in which the external passenger seating unit is stowed in a payload bay of an aircraft and a second position in which the external passenger seating unit is deployed external to the aircraft for accommodating at least one passenger.

Provided is an aircraft seat structure capable of ensuring passenger comfort and effectively utilizing space in the cabin. The aircraft seat structure includes a first seat unit having a first seat region in which passengers are able to sit, and a first side region adjacent in a direction perpendicular to a longitudinal direction of the first seat region; and a second seat unit having a second seat region in which passengers are able to sit, and a second side region adjacent in a direction perpendicular to a longitudinal direction of the second seat region. The first side region is provided on one side of the first seat region along a direction that intersects a traveling direction of an aircraft, and the second side region is provided on another side of the second seat region along the direction that intersects the traveling direction of the aircraft. The first side region and the second seat region are joined in a state in which a portion of the second seat region is inserted into the first side region. The first side region and the second side region are separated by a partition wall, and the partition wall has an inclined surface tilted toward the second seat unit.

Improved seating arrangements for a vehicle cabin of a passenger transport system, in particular of an aircraft are disclosed. Examples herein provide improved seating arrangements providing a high density of seats and increased PAX numbers while ensuring privacy, comfort and a direct aisle access to each passenger. For example, the seating arrangements provided herein are applicable to narrow body aircrafts and wide body aircrafts, in particular in view of business class solutions.

A door assembly for a seat unit provided within a vehicle cabin, in particular an aircraft cabin, the door assembly comprising at least a fixed base structure, a door element movably mounted on the base structure and which is movable between a fully retracted position and at least one deployed position, and a door slide device provided between the base structure and the door element to movably support the door element on the base structure. Further, the door slide device comprises at least a slide carrier bracket fixed to the base structure or the door element, at least one slide unit which is coupled to the slide carrier bracket in a normal operation mode, and at least one separate auxiliary slide arrangement.

The first side region and the second side region are separated by a partition wall, and the partition wall has an inclined surface tilted toward the second seat unit.

Systems, methods, tangible non-transitory computer-readable media, and devices associated with the operation of a vehicle are provided. For example a vehicle computing system can receive occupancy data that includes information associated with occupancy of a vehicle that includes seats. One or more states of the vehicle can be determined. The states of the vehicle can include a disposition of any object that is within the vehicle. Further, a configuration of the seats in the vehicle can be determined based on the occupancy data and the states of the vehicle. The configuration can include a disposition of the seats inside the vehicle. Furthermore, at least one of the seats can be adjusted based on the configuration that was determined.

The invention relates to a seat unit, in particular for an aircraft cabin, comprising: a seat provided with seat cushion and backrest kinematics, and a seat-base structure on which the seat is mounted, the seat-base structure comprising a frame with a tubular structure comprising: a first lower tube and a second lower tube, the first lower tube and the second lower tube each carrying at least one bolt intended to be fastened to rails, and two fastening feet for fastening the seat cushion and backrest kinematics, a fastening foot being formed by a tube connected by one of its ends to the first lower tube of the frame and by its other end to the second lower tube of the frame.

The invention relates to an aircraft seat assembly (14a; 14b; 14c; 14d) comprising at least one aircraft seat device (46a; 46b; 46c; 46d) and at least one additional aircraft seat device (48a; 48b; 48c; 48d) which are arranged at least partly next to one another in at least one common column of seats (36a; 36b; 36c; 36d) and each of which can be adjusted between a sitting position and a lying position. According to the invention, the lying direction (64a; 64b; 64c; 64d) of the at least one aircraft seat device (46a; 46b; 46c; 46d) is oriented in the opposite direction to another lying direction (96a; 96b; 96c; 96d) of the at least one other aircraft seat device (48a; 48b; 48c; 48d).

An object of the present invention is to provide a seat unit structure, a seat unit, and an attachment method thereof in which component reinstallation does not arise when the seat unit is attached in an aircraft. One representative seat unit structure according to the present invention relates to a seat unit structure configured to support a seat, wherein the structure has a lower structure having a monocoque structure and defines an outermost shell in at least one direction of the seat unit. That is, the member mounted in the one direction of the seat unit can be stored inside the outermost shell of the structure. In addition, the one direction is the width direction of the airframe.
