Floor-Fixed Aircraft Cabin Arranging Module
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
The existing aircraft cabin wall installation methods require attachments to both the ceiling and floor, leading to complex and time-consuming installation processes.
Innovation Solution
An aircraft design featuring an internal arranging module with walls fixed solely to the floor, including a self-supporting structure with a separating system that divides the module into two volumes, allowing for independent access through doors, and a bed that extends into a recess, facilitating setup and reducing installation time.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Stability of the object's composition
If walls are fixed to both ceiling and floor, then structural stability is improved, but installation complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The invention extracts the ceiling attachment requirement from the wall installation system. The rear wall is designed to be fixed solely to the floor of the aircraft cabin, eliminating the need for ceiling attachments. This reduces installation complexity while maintaining structural stability through the floor-fixed design and self-supporting structure of the arranging module.
Solution Approach 2:
The arranging module is segmented into a self-supporting structure that includes the rear wall, side walls, roof, and deck as integrated components. This segmentation allows the module to be installed as a complete unit fixed only to the floor, rather than requiring separate ceiling and floor attachments for each wall component.
2Strength
If walls are fixed to both ceiling and floor, then structural support is improved, but installation time increases
Solution Approach 1:
The ceiling attachment step is extracted and removed from the installation process. The rear wall and associated structures are designed to derive all necessary structural support from floor fixation alone, eliminating the time-consuming ceiling attachment operations while maintaining adequate structural support for the arranging module.
Solution Approach 2:
The arranging module is pre-assembled as a self-supporting structure with the rear wall, side walls, roof, and deck integrated before installation. This preliminary assembly allows the entire module to be installed in one operation by fixing it to the floor, rather than requiring sequential ceiling and floor attachments during installation.
3Ease of operation
If a self-supporting structure is used, then installation simplicity is improved, but structural complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The invention merges the rear wall, side walls, roof, and deck into a single self-supporting arranging module structure. This integration creates a unified structural unit that can be installed by fixing it to the floor alone, simplifying the installation process while the internal structural complexity is managed through the modular design.

AI summary
An aircraft including a cabin inside which a floor is installed, and at least one arranging module which is fixed solely to the floor and which includes a front wall, a rear wall, a port-side wall and a starboard-side wall which are rigidly connected to one another. The port-side and starboard-side walls each have a door, a roof and a deck fixed to each of the front, rear, port-side and starboard-side walls, and a separating system which makes it possible to separate the internal volume of the arranging module into two volumes, each being accessible through one of the doors. Such an aircraft therefore provides an arranging module which is fixed solely to the floor of the cabin, thereby facilitating the set-up thereof.
