A modular galley for an aircraft comprises several vertical and horizontal structural elements, and usage areas provided therebetween for accommodating slide-in devices, built-in devices or items of equipment. The galley comprises first structural elements that form an essentially unchangeable basic element which comprises connection elements for the mechanical connection of second structural elements, add-on devices, built-in devices, items of equipment and/or slide-in devices that are variable, and comprises interfaces for the supply to items of equipment that are provided in the galley wherein the connection elements and interfaces are standardized such that various structural elements, add-on devices, built-in devices, items of equipment and/or slide-in devices can be interchanged or can be affixed at various locations.

Modular galley, in particular for an aircraft

A passenger compartment with first through fourth placement spaces that include first through fourth accommodation units, where the accommodation units are of a modular design. The first and second accommodation units are a first seat and a second seat which can both be changed between a sitting position and an essentially horizontal resting position. The first and second placement spaces are arranged in one placement plane facing each other. The third placement space is arranged beside the first placement space and the fourth placement space is arranged beside the second placement space. The arrangement includes a delimiting element arranged laterally beside the first and second placement spaces and extending to be perpendicular in relation to the placement plane. First and second couchette elements are affixable to the delimiting element such that passengers can be accommodated who are in positions lying down above the first and second placement spaces.

Arrangement for accommodating passengers; vehicle for transporting passengers

Nowadays on commercial aircrafts, meals and beverages are usually served by the on-board personnel on trays that are transported to the respective row of seats with the aid of trolleys. The present application describes a vending machine that comprises a magazine and a selector. The magazine is adapted for accommodating or storing a plurality of products. The dispensing of a product can be triggered by actuating the selector. Such a vending machine allows each passenger to choose the respective meal or beverage, as well as the time of its consumption. In addition, the vending machine according to the invention may simplify the on-board work such that the personnel costs can be reduced.
