Embodiment Construction

[0029] Refer to the attached Figure 4 , shows a portion of the fuselage 10 of a commercial airliner. Section 10 includes a business class area 12 at the rear and a first class area 14 at the front. Ahead of the first class area 14 is a lobby area 16 . This portion of the aircraft depicted also has a port passenger door 18 and a starboard passenger door 20 . Front porch area 16 is a kitchen 22 and enclosed utility space 24 . Normally this space 24 is used as a toilet.

[0030] The business class area 12 is open plan and seats are installed therein in a known herringbone arrangement. The seats include individual outboard seats 26 and pairs of inboard seats 28 . In known manner, the outboard seats 26 are arranged generally facing forward but at an angle to the axis of the fuselage 10, so that the outboard seats overlap longitudinally so that the foot wells of the rear outboard seats 26 are oriented towards the outside of the forward seat and extend forward. Likewise, the ...

Abstract

A cabin module for a commercial aircraft comprises a set of bulkheads defining a quadrant with an inboard wall and converging side walls. The module is sub-divided by a removable partition which splits the module into two passenger compartments. The quadrant shape of the module enables it to overlap an adjacent seat area, thereby using space between seat areas that is otherwise underutilised. In aparticular form the modules define a single central aisle which transitions from a pair of parallel aisles aft via a Y-shaped transition region.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the arrangement of passenger accommodation in the fuselage of an airliner. The invention relates in particular, but not exclusively, to the layout of cabin modules and accommodation spaces in passenger aircraft. Background technique [0002] Various regulatory authorities (eg, the United States Federal Aviation Administration) set flight safety standards. For airliners, those standards include things like minimum aisle widths in passenger accommodation areas and a "crew assistance space" next to the exit door where airline staff can stand and assist passengers to exit the aircraft in the event of an emergency evacuation. Assisted space is defined as a minimum 20" x 12" area next to the minimum 36" wide escape path leading to the door. There is also a "90-second rule" that states the plane must be able to evacuate all passengers within 90 seconds. All of these requirements must be built into any new layout of aircraft living ...
