An aircraft seat for an aircraft passenger compartment suite may include a primary section with an upper actuatable portion and a lower actuatable portion. The primary section may be configured to actuate between a primary upright position and a primary lie-flat position. The aircraft seat may include an auxiliary section including an auxiliary seatback portion coupled to a privacy shell element of the aircraft passenger compartment suite and an auxiliary seat base portion configured to actuate between an auxiliary upright position and an auxiliary lie-flat position. The auxiliary seatback portion may include an actuatable element. The actuatable element may be configured to actuate between an open position and a closed position. The actuatable element may be configured to provide access to a stowage compartment when the actuatable element is in the open position.

An aircraft cabin (100) is disclosed. The aircraft cabin (100) comprises a plurality of pairs of seat units (120) positioned along an aisle (101). Each aisle seat unit (122 A) comprises an aisle seat (125A) and an aisle footwell (126 A) and each non-aisle seat unit (123 A) comprises a non-aisle seat (127 A) and a non-aisle footwell (128A). The aisle seat unit (122 A) and non-aisle seat unit (123A) are positioned with respect to one another such that the aisle seat (125A) faces towards a first end of the cabin (100) and has direct access to the aisle (101), the non-aisle seat (127A) faces towards a second, opposite end of the cabin (100). The aisle seat unit (122 A) is oriented at an angle with respect to the non-aisle seat unit (123 A) to provide the non-aisle seat unit (123 A) with an aisle access path (129 A) between the non-aisle seat (127 A) and the aisle footwell (126A). The width of the non-aisle footwell (128 A) is less than the width of the non-aisle seat (127A) and the aisle seat (125A) is positioned directly adjacent the non-aisle footwell (128A).

A seating module having a recessed grip for a vehicle, in particular an aircraft, and a seating arrangement that includes a seating module that has a recessed grip. The seating module includes a shell structure that defines the recessed grip in an upper area of the shell structure.

A super first-class cabin includes a monitor disposed in the ceiling structure, a controller to render images on the monitor, and cameras to capture real-time streaming environmental images and renders them on the monitor. At the passenger's request, or when the passenger reclines, the controller may render a selection of mood affective images, for example to promote sleep if desired. Such mood affective images may be organized into a schedule associated with phases of flight to gently wake the passenger and prepare them for the end of the flight. The monitor may be employed to reduce the effects of flight-base time-disassociation by varying a daylight color scheme over the course of long flights, simulating a day/night routine to align the time of day at the origin of the flight with the time of day at the destination.

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).

A passenger furniture device for a passenger seat provided within a vehicle cabin, in particular an aircraft cabin, including at least a base element having at least an upper utility surface for a passenger, a removable section element which is mounted to one side of the base element, and a simple latch mechanism. In particular, the latch mechanism may be a simple plug-in and clip device. The latch mechanism is an easy to handle releasable attachment and fixation device to release the removable section from the base element, particularly only by crew and service members of the aircraft. The latch mechanism is provided on the base element and the section element such that the section element is detachably mounted to the base element via the latch mechanism.

An aircraft seating group including first and second laterally-adjacent seats, a center console positioned between the seats, a rear privacy shell positioned behind the seats and forming part of the center console, a vertical partition extending forward from the rear privacy shell to divide the center console, and a deployable shelf positioned to one side of the vertical partition, the shelf configured to hold a tablet for viewing by a passenger facing the shelf.

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.

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.
