A seat carrier arrangement includes a first screen carrier having a carrier body extending vertically from a vehicle floor and a second screen carrier having a carrier body arranged at a distance and substantially parallel to the first screen carrier. At least one of the first and second screen carriers includes a screen element configured to move between a stowed position within the carrier body and an extended position extending from the carrier body. The screen element is concealed within the carrier body in the stowed position and extending from one of the first or second screen carriers to and detachably attached to the carrier body of the other one of the first or second screen carriers in an extended position.

An expandable lavatory and an aircraft cabin configuration including the same. First, second and third walls form the lavatory interior and the third wall is repositionable to expand the lavatory interior footprint to accommodate a wheelchair. The third wall carries a door deployable when the third wall is in the expanded configuration such that the wheelchair can access the lavatory interior via an exit pathway. A first door positioned in the second wall provides access to the lavatory interior via a longitudinal aisle. In some embodiments, a wheelchair securement area is positioned longitudinally aligned with the second door, when the second door is deployed, such that wheelchair access to the lavatory is provided through second door when the lavatory is in the expanded configuration.

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.

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.

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.

Lateral sleep systems for aircraft are disclosed. A divider is located between a first seat and a second seat of the aircraft. The divider includes a first panel oriented toward the first seat and a second panel oriented toward the second seat. The first panel defines a first support ledge. The second panel defines a second support ledge. A first lateral sleep apparatus positioned on a first side of the divider adjacent the first seat includes a first headrest and a first cradle. The first cradle supports the first headrest and includes a first panel mounting interface coupling the first headrest to the first support ledge. A second lateral sleep apparatus positioned on a second side of the divider adjacent the second seat includes a second headrest and a second cradle. The second cradle supports the second headrest and includes a second panel mounting interface coupling the second headrest to the second support ledge.

An arrangement of individual seats for installation in an aeroplane cabin having a first set of two seats and a second set of two seats, each seat having an axis and being convertible between a sitting position and an extended position, said arrangement having a longitudinal axis. The arrangement also includes (i) a first central console having a first foot area and a second foot area open in two opposite directions relative to each other and respectively associated with the first seat of the first set and the first seat of the second set and (ii) a second central console having a first foot area and a second foot area open in two opposite directions relative to each other and respectively associated with the second seat of the first set and the second seat of the second set.

A seating arrangement for a vehicle cabin includes a first group having a number of seats and a second group having a number of seats. Each group extends laterally adjacent to each other along a longitudinal direction of the vehicle cabin. The first group having twice as many seats as the second group with respect to the longitudinal direction of the vehicle cabin.

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 aircraft interior unit with a detachable panel. The aircraft interior unit comprises a wall comprising a hollow panel, and a door mounted to the wall. The door is slidable between a closed position in which it covers an entrance to the aircraft interior unit, and an open position in which the entrance to the aircraft interior unit is uncovered. In the open position, the door is at least partially disposed within the hollow panel of the wall. The hollow panel can be detached from the rest of the aircraft interior unit, and the door, when moved from the open position, can be detached from the wall.
