MODULAR BAR
A modular bar made of bar modules includes a bar element and one or more seating elements pivotably attached to the bar element. The seating element(s) is moveable relative to the bar element between a stowed position and a seat position, the module configured to be arranged adjacent one or more other bar modules to form a bar.
Pilot and passenger seat
The present invention achieves technical advantages as a pilot and passenger seating. An aircraft employs a pilot seat, comprising a contoured structure having ergonomically formed and padded surfaces, with left and right arm supports that include an articulated control knob, movable in three rectangular axes and rotatable about a vertical axis to provide one or more aircraft steering functions for an aircraft, and a touch-sensitive control surface for controlling one or more power system components. A passenger seat, having a contoured structure, having ergonomically formed and padded surfaces, a headrest, a seat, a left support member, and a right support member are adapted to cradle a portion of a passenger's body to support the passenger during travel.
Universal passenger service unit
A personal service unit (PSU) includes a housing, a dial, and a flow control ring. The dial is rotatable about the housing. The housing includes a longitudinal axis therethrough and a first end and a second end opposite the first end. The dial includes a helical first portion along an interior wall of the dial. The flow control ring includes a helical second portion along an exterior wall of the flow control ring. The helical second portion rotatably mates with the helical first portion and rotation of the dial in a first direction moves the flow control ring in a first direction along the longitudinal axis to cause a first adjustment in airflow past the flow control ring and rotation of the flow control ring in an opposite direction moves the flow control ring in an opposite direction to cause a second adjustment in airflow past the flow control ring.
Interior component carrier system and method for mounting an interior component carrier system
An interior component carrier system comprises a first and second installation rail. Each rail includes at least one connecting portion connectable to an associated primary structure component to fasten the rail to the component, and a carrier portion extending from the connecting portion in a direction along a longitudinal axis of the system. The system further comprises a first carrier element having a first end connected to a first carrier rod extending in a direction along the longitudinal axis and a second end connectable to a first interior component, wherein the first carrier rod is fastened to the carrier portion of the first rail, and a second carrier element having a first end connected to a second carrier rod extending in the longitudinal axis direction and a second end connected to the first carrier element, wherein the second carrier rod is fastened to the second rail carrier portion.
Aircraft installation arrangement and installation system for mounting an overhead luggage compartment
An installation arrangement comprising a first carrier element configured to fasten an overhead luggage compartment thereto. The first element includes a main body comprising a tubular opening, a barrel-shaped component arranged inside the tubular opening, the component comprising a through hole extending substantially perpendicular to a component longitudinal axis, and a fastener to fasten a portion of the overhead luggage compartment to the main body of the first carrier element. A second carrier element of the arrangement is a rotary joint connectable to an installation rail, the rotary joint being movable around a longitudinal axis of the installation rail and an axis perpendicular to that longitudinal axis. The installation arrangement also comprises a rod configured to be coupled with the second carrier element and to fit inside the through hole, wherein the rod is connectable to the first carrier element when the rod is arranged inside the through hole.
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.
AN AIRCRAFT PASSENGER SUITE
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).
Method and system for operating a configuration platform
A system for operating a configuration platform. The system comprising a conversion pipeline, the conversion pipeline allowing converting a first set of data associated with a computer-aided design (CAD) system into polygon meshes suitable for rendering of the portion of a monument and configuration data. The system also comprising a content management system, the content management system storing the polygon meshes and the configuration data; and a 3D real-time engine, the 3D real-time engine allowing to determine, based on the configuration data, at least one of the positioning of the monument, the material surface associated with the monument, the material grain direction associated with the monument, the lighting associated with the monument, the annotations associated with the monument, the alternate states associated with the monument and the kinematic sequence associated with the monument; and to render the portion of the monument by the 3D real-time engine.
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.
