A vehicle includes an internal cabin. A plurality of passenger service units (PSUs) are within the internal cabin. An emergency oxygen system is within the internal cabin. The emergency oxygen system is separate and distinct from the plurality of PSUs. A method includes providing a plurality of passenger service units (PSUs) within an internal cabin of a vehicle, and providing an emergency oxygen system within the internal cabin, wherein the emergency oxygen system is separate and distinct from the plurality of PSUs.

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.

The present invention relates to a method for verifying the presence of equipment (E) on board an aircraft, the method comprising the following steps:—during a flight of the aircraft, implementing (102) radio communication tests by means of a device (2) on board the aircraft so as to determine an in-flight list of equipment consisting of any equipment having a quality of radio link with the radio communication device (2) higher than a first predetermined quality threshold;—after the flight, implementing (104) radio communication tests by means of the device (2) so as to determine a post-flight list of equipment consisting of any equipment having a quality of radio link with the radio communication device (2) higher than a second predetermined threshold after the flight;—generating (108) an alert when an item of equipment is present on the in-flight list and absent from the post-flight list.

A passenger cabin layout including a closet and a closet positionable in a cabin such as an aircraft passenger cabin. The closet includes a first compartment for accommodating a wheelchair, such as an occupied wheelchair, in an unfolded condition, wherein the first compartment is enterable from an aisle in the cabin, such as a branch aisle extending from a door of the aircraft. The closet further includes a second compartment for storing items. In some embodiments, the first compartment is further enterable from a second branch aisle forward of at least one passenger seat, such as a seat row facing the closet. The first compartment is configured to accommodate a personal wheelchair and in some embodiments includes a floor pallet for securing the wheelchair in place in atop the pallet.

A pilot's seat offering an evacuation device. The seat comprises a ladder fixed to the rear of the back and covered by a detachable cover associated with the seat and deployable between a storage position retracted inside the cover and a deployed evacuation position, in which case the cover is detached. Thus, the evacuation device is incorporated harmoniously into the seat which offers a solid base for the evacuation ladder.

A three-place aircraft divan configured to be installed side-facing in an aircraft and track between an upright sitting position and a berth position. Seat bottom and backrest portions of the divan are movably supported on a static frame and track together. The divan includes inflatable passenger restraints at each seat place and a leg flail prevention device at one end of the frame triggered to actuate in response to an event sensed by a mechanical crash sensor. The inboard leg arrangement of the divan accommodates the installation of two containers for containing high-capacity life rafts under the seat bottom frame, among other equipment.

A seating device comprises a seat bottom unit, in particular an aircraft seat bottom unit, having an accommodating region for receiving a module, in particular a lifejacket module, with at least one upper wall element which forms at least a support surface for a comfort element.

A system and method for deplaning and boarding airplanes. The system is comprised of a track that provides a loop for transferring seats from the airplane, to a deboarding area, to a boarding area, and back to the airplane. Seats with integrated storage compartments lower onto the track via a connector for transporting the seat along the track and through the system.
