An aircraft seat group is described. The aircraft seat group includes first and second aircraft seats. The seat group also includes a center console between the aircraft seats. The center console includes a microphone unit including an audio transducer. The audio transducer generates a voice recording of a passenger sitting on one of the seats in response to a signal, thereby reducing privacy concerns. The signal is received by one or more of a record button or a communication interface. The voice recording may thus provide one or more of passenger recommendation or flight recordings during emergency conditions. The microphone unit is embedded in one or more of an armrest or a seat back divider of the center console.

A door assembly for passenger seating comprises a base having a leading end in which a recess is formed, and a door that is curved in end cross-section. The door is pivotable with respect to the base and, in an open state, the rearward end of the door is located in the recess. The arrangement reduces the space in the forward direction that is required to accommodate the door, and so facilitates provision of a minimum size of gap between seat rows without having to increase inter-row pitch.

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.

Described are aircraft door assemblies comprising a stationary portion comprising at least one translation track and a movable portion comprising at least one channel. The movable portion is slidably coupled to the stationary portion via at least an attachment plate. The aircraft door assembly comprises a locked state and an unlocked state. In the locked state, the attachment plate and the movable portion are slidable as a unit relative to the stationary portion along the at least one translation track. In the unlocked state, the movable portion is slidable relative to the attachment plate and the stationary portion along the at least one channel.

A passenger seat or group of seats includes a tray table set into the armrest on either side of the associated seat, the tray table capable of translating lengthwise along the armrest and pivoting between a stowed configuration and a deployed configuration. In the stowed configuration, the tray table extends vertically above the armrest and may be stowed between (and partially behind) the associated seat and an adjacent seat, serving as a partial barrier between the two seats. In the deployed configuration, the tray table extends horizontally across the associated seat for use by the occupying passenger. The tray table is padded on its underside to provide the passenger with head and shoulder support when in the stowed configuration.

A passenger seat arrangement for a vehicle including first and second partition walls positioned in spaced apart relation forming an area therebetween, each of the walls including at least a portion angled relative to an aisle and each of the walls having an end position proximate the aisle such that the area formed between the walls is directly accessible from the aisle. A passenger seat positioned in the area is coupled to a guide mechanism such that the passenger seat is configured to travel within the area between a first position distal from the aisle and a second position proximate the aisle for facilitating transfer of a person of reduced mobility (PRM), and in some implementations through an intermediate position for enhancing socialization between the passenger seat and an adjacent passenger seat.

A passenger seating arrangement for use in an aircraft cabin, the passenger seating arrangement comprising a column of seat units arranged in an inwardly facing herringbone. Each seat unit is configurable between a seating configuration and a flat-bed configuration. Each seat unit has an access opening for accessing the respective seat unit. At least one of the seat units is configurable into a disabled-access configuration in which an access opening is temporarily widened by moving part of a foot-receiving structure, for enabling a disabled passenger to access the seat unit.

A privacy panel assembly for a passenger seat includes a vertically extending panel attached to a lateral surface of the passenger seat such that the vertically extending panel includes a forward edge and an aft edge and at least one sliding mechanism attached to an interior surface of the vertically extending panel. The vertically extending panel includes a stowed configuration and a deployed configuration. In the stowed configuration, the aft edge of the vertically extending panel is disposed on an aft side of a rear surface of a seatback of the passenger seat. In the deployed configuration, the aft edge of the vertically extending panel is approximately aligned with a seating surface of the seatback on a forward side of the passenger seat.

An aircraft interior structure may include a passenger seating section proximate to a passenger compartment including an aircraft seat. The aircraft interior structure may include a seat extension cavity defined within the passenger seating section. The seat extension cavity may correspond to the aircraft seat. The aircraft interior structure may include a bassinet cavity defined within the passenger seating section proximate to the seat extension cavity. The bassinet cavity may be configured to receive a bassinet via an opening in the surface of the aircraft interior structure within the passenger compartment. The bassinet cavity and the bassinet may be accessible from the passenger compartment via the opening in the surface of the aircraft interior structure. The bassinet may be positioned in the bassinet cavity at a location selected to provide an unobstructed line of sight between the aircraft seat and an interior of the bassinet.
