Embodiment Construction

[0038] FIG. 1 shows a cabin cross-section of a commercial aircraft with a centrally installed cabin unit 1 comprising a wall segment according to the invention. In this arrangement, the chamber unit 1 comprises side wall segments 2 and corner wall segments 3 . The attachment of the segments is entirely within the seat rail 5 extending in the cabin floor 4 . Due to the inherently stable wall design with mutually supporting wall segments 2 , 3 it is sufficient to attach the segments in the seat rail 5 . Thus, no further attachment points, eg on the ribs of the aircraft or on the ceiling of the cabin, are required. Furthermore, the segments can be high enough that the room unit 1 does not need a ceiling for reasons of visibility, which is a factor which further facilitates quick installation. Arrows in the figures indicate an optional installation of a passenger seat 12 instead of the cabin unit 1 . The individual wall sections 2, 3 can be made of sandwich panels of lightweigh...

Abstract

The individual room units presently used in aircraft, e.g. crew rest rooms, are usually fixed installations so that quick on-demand changeover of passenger seats to such a room unit may only be feasible with an extended change-over period in the repair hangar. According to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention, a modular wall construction system for aircraft cabins is provided, which comprises individually prefabricated wall construction panels (701, 702, 703) adapted for a quick installation with connecting elements without additional tools. This may result in the formation of at least one room of a room unit of individual size and geometry.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to aircraft cabins. In particular, the present invention relates to a modular wall construction system for an aircraft cabin. Background technique [0002] As air traffic grows, airlines are working to meet the increasing range of passenger demands. In particular, the need to provide smaller room units in existing nacelles for special purposes must be met. This use can be varied, where the room unit can fulfill the following functions: treatment room for sick passengers (circulation problems during long-distance flights), family room, crew rest room, storage area for bulky or valuable items, communication / Internet center, office / work area, sleeping room, etc. [0003] In today's commercial aircraft, partition walls dividing the cabin longitudinally are common; they thus divide the various passenger cabin classes: first class, business class and economy class. If these walls are to fulfill the function of partition walls, they...
