AIRCRAFT COCKPIT MODULE, AIRCRAFT COMPRISING SUCH A MODULE AND METHOD FOR INSTALLING THE MODULE IN A COCKPIT
An aircraft cockpit module (10) that incorporates, on the one hand, a single pilot seat (12) and, on the other hand, at least a part of the piloting equipment and controls necessary for flying an aircraft, the module (10). The aircraft cockpit module forms an assembly which can be moved unitarily and to be incorporated in a single operation in an aircraft cockpit. The module is dedicated to a single pilot and makes it possible to simplify the integration of the cockpit.
Static aircraft seat privacy panels
A static aircraft seat privacy panel may include a body. At least a portion of a surface of the body may be shaped to at least partially conform with at least a portion of an aircraft seat. A lower edge of the body may be configured to couple to a floor via a set of floor-mounted components. The set of floor-mounted components may be within the floor separate from a set of seat tracks of an aircraft seat compliant with 16G force requirements for aviation transport. An upper edge of the body may be configured to be offset a selected distance from a surface of one or more overhead structures of the aircraft cabin when the body is coupled to one or more structures positioned proximate to a ceiling of the aircraft cabin. The static aircraft seat privacy panel may be compliant with 9G force requirements for aviation transport.
Aircraft seat module
An aircraft seat module includes an enclosure unit which delimits a flight passenger seating region at least partially, and includes a door unit which at least closes a passage region to the flight passenger seating region in one or more operation states. The aircraft seat module further includes a bearing device which supports the door unit movably relative to the enclosure unit and has for this purpose a bearing module having a first bearing element and a second bearing element which are supported such that they are movable relative to each other.
PASSENGER SEAT ARRANGEMENT
The present invention relates to an aircraft cabin having a longitudinal axis and comprising at least one aisle and an arrangement of seat units, a seat unit comprising, in particular, a seat provided with a base and a backrest as well as a foot area, the seat being movable between a sitting position and a lying position, the arrangement of seat units comprising: at least one rear group of two seat units, at least one front group of two seat units, each group of two seat units comprising a seat unit arranged on the side of the aisle and referred to as the “aisle-side seat unit” and a seat unit arranged on the side of a window and referred to as the “window-side seat unit”, each seat of a group of seat units having an axis forming a non-zero angle relative to the longitudinal axis of the aircraft cabin, such that the seats of each group are facing the aisle, a first passage for accessing the aisle associated with the window-side seat unit of the rear group extending between the foot area and the seat of the aisle-side seat unit of the rear group, and a second passage for accessing the aisle associated with the window-side seat unit of the rear group extending between the aisle-side seat unit of the front group and the foot area of the aisle-side seat unit of the rear group.
PASSENGER SEATING WITH FRONT ROW BULKHEAD INTEGRATION
A passenger seating installation for a vehicle comprises a front seat located adjacent a bulkhead and facing in a direction that is oblique to the direction of travel of the vehicle. The bulkhead includes a recess for receiving the head of a passenger in the front seat in the event of an accident. The recess is spaced apart from the front seat in the direction of travel and in a direction that is obliquely disposed with respect to the direction in which the seated passenger faces. The recess allows the front seat to be located closer to the bulkhead than would be the case in the absence of the recess, which can increase seat density in a seating area.
Dynamic electro-mechanical ottoman
A dynamic electro-mechanical ottoman may include a rail assembly with one or more actuatable tracks coupled to one or more rails. The dynamic electro-mechanical ottoman may include a cushion assembly translatable via the one or more actuatable tracks between a first translation position and a second translation position. The cushion assembly may include one or more cross plates coupled to a pivot shaft and the one or more actuatable tracks, and a cushion sub-assembly. The cushion sub-assembly may include one or more support plates coupled to a cushion and the pivot shaft, and may be rotatable about an axis through the pivot shaft between a first rotation position and a second rotation position. A top surface of the cushion may at least partially face an aircraft seat when the cushion sub-assembly is in the second rotation position.
LINING ELEMENT OF AN EDGE OF AN AERONAUTICAL SEAT SHELL, METHOD FOR MANUFACTURING AND METHOD FOR SETTING UP SUCH AN ELEMENT
A flexible element for lining an edge of an aeronautical seat shell, made up of an assembly of at least two elongate, flexible and planar cut pieces, secured together by respective longitudinal boundaries so that the assembly has a three-dimensional shape matching with an edge of an aeronautical seat shell.
A method for manufacturing such a lining element, as well as a method for setting up such a lining element over an aeronautical seat shell.
Business class seats for a passenger vehicle
Passenger seat assemblies may be used in vehicles such as aircraft. The passenger seat assembly includes a first wall, a second wall opposite from the first wall, and a passenger seat having a first side and a second side opposite from the first side. The passenger seat is positioned between the first wall and the second wall. The passenger seat assembly is positionable between a forward-facing configuration and an aft-facing configuration. In both the forward-facing configuration and the aft-facing configuration, the first wall is proximate to the first side of the passenger seat and the second wall is proximate to the second side of the passenger seat.
AIRCRAFT PASSENGER ACCOMMODATION UNIT
The invention provides an aircraft passenger accommodation unit (1000) comprising a seat (100), a shell (110) defining an opening (120), and a door (130). The door (130) is translatable along a first path across the opening (120) between a closed position in which passenger egress through the opening (120) is at least partially blocked, and an open position which allows passenger access between a seat (100) and an aisle (300). The door (130) is translatable in a second direction that is transverse to the first direction, between a first configuration and a second configuration. In the first configuration, the door (130) is translatable across the opening (120) along the first path, and when the door (130) is in the second configuration, the door (130) is translatable across the opening (120) along a second path. The invention also provides a door arrangement and a method of using a door.
PASSENGER SEATING POSITIONED PROXIMATE TO AN AIRCRAFT INTERIOR STRUCTURE
Passenger seating positioned proximate to an aircraft interior structure includes at least one seat base assembly and at least one seatback assembly. The at least one seat base assembly includes a seat pan, and is attached to a floor of an aircraft cabin. The at least one seatback assembly includes a support structure and a seatback couplable to the support structure. The seatback includes a surface contoured to a passenger profile. The support structure is couplable to the aircraft interior structure attached to the floor of the aircraft cabin via at least one quick-release mounting assembly, with components of the at least one quick-release mounting assembly being coupled to the support structure and the aircraft interior structure. The at least one seatback assembly is not directly coupled to the at least one seat base assembly.
