DESCRIPTION OF THE EXEMPLARY EMBODIMENTS
[0044]
[0045] The aircraft cabin 12a has an aircraft cabin central axis 16a. The aircraft cabin central axis 16a is configured as an aircraft longitudinal axis. The aircraft cabin 30 central axis 16a has identical spacings from each of the mutually opposite aircraft cabin external walls 18a, 20a of the aircraft cabin 12a. The aircraft cabin central axis 16a is aligned so as to be parallel to a rolling axis of the aircraft 10a. The aircraft cabin central axis 16a is aligned so as to be parallel to an aircraft cabin floor 22a of the aircraft cabin 12a. The aircraft cabin central axis 16a is preferably disposed on the aircraft cabin floor 22a. The aircraft cabin 12a has an aircraft cabin central plane which is not illustrated in more detail. The aircraft cabin central plane along the aircraft cabin central axis 16a is aligned perpendicularly to the aircraft cabin floor 22a. The aircraft 10a in at least one operating state has a flight direction 24a. The flight direction 24a in the present case in an idealized manner is aligned so as to be parallel to the aircraft cabin central axis 16a.
[0046] The aircraft cabin 12a along the aircraft cabin central axis 16a has an aircraft cabin portion 26a. The aircraft seat assembly 14a is disposed in the aircraft cabin portion 26a. The aircraft cabin 12a can additionally have at least one further aircraft cabin portion which, when viewed in the flight direction 24a, is preferably in front of or behind the aircraft cabin portion 26a. The aircraft cabin portion 26a in the present case is delimited by a plurality of aircraft cabin partition elements 28a and by a plurality of schematically illustrated aircraft cabin modules 30a along the aircraft cabin central axis 16a. The aircraft cabin partition elements 28a in the present case are in each case configured as an aircraft cabin partition wall. The aircraft cabin modules 30a in the present case are in each case configured as a galley module, as a washroom module, as a wardrobe, or as a front row monument.
[0047] In the present case, the aircraft cabin 12a in the aircraft cabin portion 26a has two aircraft cabin aisles 32a, 34a. Alternatively, it would also be conceivable that the aircraft cabin 12a has only a single aircraft cabin aisle. The aircraft cabin 12a has an aircraft cabin aisle 32a. The aircraft cabin 12a has a further aircraft cabin aisle 34a. The aircraft cabin aisles 32a, 34a extend in each case at least substantially along an aircraft longitudinal axis which is not illustrated in more detail.
[0048] In the present case, the aircraft seat assembly 14a comprises four seat columns 36a, 38a, 40a, 42a. Alternatively, it would also be conceivable that the aircraft seat assembly 14a comprises only two or three seat columns. The four seat columns 36a, 38a, 40a, 42a each extend in the flight direction 24a. The aircraft seat assembly 14a comprises a first seat column 36a. The first seat column 36a is configured as a first inner seat column. The aircraft seat assembly 14a comprises a second seat column 38a. The second seat column 38a is configured as a second inner seat column. The first seat column 36a and the second seat column 38a are disposed directly next to one another. The aircraft cabin 12a has a central region 44a. The central region 44a is delimited by the two aircraft cabin aisles 32a, 34a. The first seat column 36a and the second seat column 38a are disposed in the central region 44a. A maximum combined extent of the first seat column 36a and of the second seat column 38a, measured perpendicularly to the aircraft cabin central axis 16a and parallel to the aircraft cabin floor 22a, corresponds to a minimum spacing between the aircraft cabin aisle 32a and the further aircraft cabin aisle 34a. The first seat column 36a and the second seat column 38a, when viewed perpendicularly to the aircraft cabin central axis 16a and parallel to the aircraft cabin floor 22a, at least substantially completely fill the central region 44a. In principle, it would also be conceivable that only one seat column is disposed in the central region 44a of the aircraft cabin 12a. The aircraft seat assembly 14a comprises a third seat column 40a. The third seat column 40a is configured as a first outer seat column. The first seat column 36a and the third seat column 40a are mutually spaced apart by the aircraft cabin aisle 32a.

The aircraft seat device 46a and the further aircraft seat device 48a, when viewed perpendicularly to the aircraft cabin central axis 16a, are disposed in the first seat column 36a so as to at least partially overlap one another. The aircraft seat device 46a and the further aircraft seat device 48a are disposed so as to be directly mutually adjacent in the first seat column 36a. The aircraft seat device 46a and the further aircraft seat device 48a are disposed so as to be directly behind one another and directly next to one another in the first seat column. The aircraft seat device 46a and the further aircraft seat device 48a have in each case direct access to the same aircraft cabin aisle 32a.

The adjacent aircraft seat device 46′a is spaced apart from the aircraft seat device 46a by the further aircraft seat device 48a. In principle, it is conceivable that an adjacent aircraft seat device 46′a which is disposed in the first seat column 36a and in a first seat row and/or in a last seat row in the aircraft cabin portion 26a is configured differently from the aircraft seat device 46a. As a result, additional space can advantageously be made available in the first seat row and/or in the last seat row.

The console 68c of the aircraft seat device 46c and the further console 100c of the further aircraft seat device 48c are integrally configured. The console 68c of the aircraft seat device 46c and the further console 100c of the further aircraft seat device 48c, when viewed perpendicularly to the aircraft cabin floor 22c, are disposed so as to at least partially overlap. The console 68c of the aircraft seat device 46c and the further console 100c of the further aircraft seat device 48c configure the common console 144c.

[0090] The aircraft seat device 46c has a foot space 132c. The further aircraft seat device 48c has a further foot space 136c. The foot space 132c of the aircraft seat device 46c and the further foot space 136c of the further aircraft seat device 48c, when viewed perpendicularly to the aircraft cabin floor 22c, are disposed so as to overlap.

The lying direction 64c of the aircraft seat device 46c is configured so as to be at least substantially parallel to the further lying direction 96c of the further aircraft seat device 48c. The lying direction 64c and the further lying direction 96c are aligned in an idealized manner to the aircraft seat device 46c and the further aircraft seat device 48c, wherein an actual lying direction defined by a passenger, preferably by virtue of an asymmetrical posture of the passenger, may deviate from the lying direction 64c and/or from the further lying direction 96c.

The two stowage spaces 146c, 148c are in each case able to be closed by means of a closure element. As a result, it can be advantageously avoided that items fall out. The closure elements can be configured, for example, as a flap, as a sliding door, as a folding blind or as a curtain. A separation of the common console 144c, which is not illustrated in more detail, is disposed between the stowage space 146c and the further stowage space 148c.
