The invention relates mainly to a seat module intended to be installed in an aircraft cabin comprising:

Seat module comprising an armrest with an optimised design

The invention relates mainly to a seat module intended to be installed in an aircraft cabin, having a seat and a tray table that is movable between a folded position and a deployed position, wherein the tray table is also movable in translation and/or in rotation with respect to the seat in order to be moved from the deployed position to an offset deployed position.

Seat module comprising a tray table with an optimised design

The present invention generally relates to passenger aircraft seats. The disclosure focuses on a seat unit arrangement () for a cabin and seat units that provide different comfort positions. In some embodiments, a side cushion () forms part of a bed surface when the seats are converted to a bed position. In some embodiments, a bed extension () is deployed from a stowed position to form a part of the bed surface. In some embodiments, a seat backrest () does not form part of the bed surface when the seat unit is in the bed position. In some embodiments, a lounge position is provided when the seat backrest rotates toward a side cushion. In such an embodiment, the passenger may be positioned toward the side cushion such that the passenger may comfortably rest their legs on the side cushion without converting the seat to a bed position.

Aircraft seat configuration and arrangement systems and methods

A passenger accommodation assembly for a passenger vehicle can be configured as a column oriented parallel to an axis defining a forward and a backward direction. The column can include at least a second seat positioned behind a first seat. The first and second seats can each be oriented to face toward the axis in directions not substantially parallel to the axis and can each be convertible by a relative movement of elements of the seat between a sitting mode and a bed mode in which elements of the seat form at least part of a sleeping surface. When in the bed mode, the second sleeping surface can be situated higher or lower than the first sleeping surface such that at least a portion of the second sleeping surface vertically overlaps with at least a portion of the first sleeping surface.
