An aircraft passenger suite (200) and method are provided. The aircraft passenger suite comprises a console (150) and a table (130) movably mounted to the console, the table being moveable along a table path between a first position and a second position. A controller (210) controls electro-mechanical movement of the table along the table path. The controller comprises an initiation input for receiving an instruction to initiate electro-mechanical movement of the table. The suite comprises sensing equipment for sensing if any obstacle is present on the table path and providing, to the controller, an indication of whether or not any obstacle is present on the table path. The controller is configured to prevent electro-mechanical movement of the table along the table path if the controller receives an indication that an obstacle is present on the table path.

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.

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.

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.

An inflatable separating region for a vehicle interior, in particular for a passenger cabin of an aircraft, includes a supporting structure with interconnected inflatable tubes made of a flexible material and arranged, in an inflated state, to form a self-supporting frame structure for the separating region; and a covering with flexible wall membranes which connect the inflatable tubes to one another in a planar manner to separate off the separating region in the inflated state from the vehicle interior.

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.

An aircraft passenger suite (100) is provided. The suite (100) comprises an aircraft seat (110) for use by a passenger. The suite (100) also comprises a controller for controlling a number of output states (240) of the suite, the controller comprising a logic condition receiver operable to receive a logic condition input (210). The suite (100) also comprises sensor equipment operable to provide a sensor input (220) to the controller, the sensor input (220) providing an indication of at least one attribute of a passenger of the suite (100). The sensor equipment comprises one or more of: an image sensor (151, 152) a pressure sensor (154) and a physiological sensor. The controller is configured to control at least one of the output states (240) of the suite based on both the logic condition input (210) and the sensor input (220).

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.

A seating assembly may employ one or more of: a seat stagger, a seat overlap, and a seat angling to offer significant width and comfort gains and reduce the negative impact of width and leg room gains on seating density. With one seat of a pair staggered forward with respect to the other seat each may then be moved laterally and overlap (as seen from the front). The seating positions may be further improved by angling each seat away from their center arm rest area, reducing the encroaching effect of the overlap by pointing the passenger away from the overlap, reducing the visual impact of the staggered seating by pointing the passenger away from the nearest seat ahead, and improving leg room by directing the passenger's legs forward at an angle.

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.
