An aircraft lavatory is disclosed herein. The aircraft lavatory includes a standard access door providing access to the aircraft lavatory from at least one of an aisle, a cross aisle, or a passageway of an aircraft, a first moveable wall adjacent the standard access door, the first moveable wall having a first end and a second end and configured to move between a closed position and an open position, the first end of the first moveable wall configured to rotate about a first pivot point, and a second moveable wall adjacent the first moveable wall, the second movable wall having a first end and a second end and configured to move between a closed position and an open position, the first end of the second moveable wall configured to rotate about a second pivot point.

Wheelchair accessible airliner lavatory

A cabin attendant seat includes a housing having an upper portion and a lower portion, a headrest rotatably coupled to the upper portion, a seat pan coupled to the lower portion, and a drop-down tray assembly rotatably coupled to the upper portion. The seat pan is detached from the headrest. The drop-down tray assembly and the headrest are configured to rotate along a first axis such that the drop-down tray assembly defines a platform.

Split cabin attendant seat

An adapter plate for an aircraft seat may include a body configured to be positioned exterior of an armrest of the aircraft seat within a space proximate to the aircraft seat. The body may include at least one coupler configured to attach to the aircraft seat. The body may include at least one mount point. The at least one mount point of the body may be configured to attach to at least one mount bracket of the removable auxiliary aircraft accessory. The auxiliary aircraft accessory may be positioned within the space proximate to the aircraft seat when coupled to the at least one mount point of the body via the at least one mount bracket.

Adapter plate for an aircraft seat

An aircraft interior structure may include a social area section including a surface. The social area section may be accessible from a floor area of an aircraft cabin. The aircraft interior structure may include a passenger seating section proximate to an aircraft seat. The passenger seating section may include a footwell. The aircraft interior structure may include a partition separating the passenger seating section and a first portion of the social area section. The footwell of the passenger seating section may be positioned underneath at least one of the partition or the surface of the social area section in a second portion of the social area section.

Aircraft interior structure including a surface and an integrated footwell

A supplemental oxygen assembly for a vehicle can include a container and a flow assembly attached to and/or configured to be contained within the container in a stowed position and to extend from the container in a deployed position. The flow assembly can be configured to be connected to an oxygen supply to supply oxygen to a person in the deployed position. The supplemental oxygen assembly can include an extension device connected to the flow assembly. The extension device can be configured to extend or allow extension of the flow assembly toward an aisle of the vehicle to aid the flow assembly in being reached from or moveable toward an aisle of the vehicle by a person in the aisle.

Supplemental oxygen assemblies

An aircraft interior structure may include a primary monument, an auxiliary monument, and a passenger seating section. The primary monument may include one or more storage compartments and a primary panel configured to actuate between a primary panel stowed position and a primary panel deployed position. The auxiliary monument may be spaced a select distance from the primary monument across a floor area of an aircraft cabin, and may include an auxiliary panel configured to actuate between an auxiliary panel stowed position and an auxiliary panel deployed position. The passenger seating section may include a footwell at least partially within the primary monument and proximate to the one or more storage compartments. The footwell may correspond to an aircraft seat. The aircraft seat may be configured to form a bed surface with at least a portion being within the footwell when the aircraft seat is in a lie-flat position.

Aircraft interior structure including actuatable panels and a footwell

A stowable auxiliary compartment panel system may include an auxiliary compartment panel, an actuation assembly, and a latch assembly. The auxiliary compartment panel may be configured to transition between a stowed position and a deployed position via the actuation assembly. The auxiliary compartment panel may be configured to secure to the monument via the latch assembly when the auxiliary compartment panel is in the deployed position. An auxiliary compartment defined within the monument may be accessible when the auxiliary compartment panel is in the stowed position. The stowable auxiliary compartment panel system may be installed within an aircraft cabin.

Stowable auxiliary compartment panel system

A stowable flight attendant seat system may include at least one flight attendant seat. The at least one flight attendant seat may be configured to transition between a stowed position and a deployed position via an actuation assembly. A seat pan of the at least one flight attendant seat may be in a folded position when the at least one flight attendant seat is in the stowed position. The at least one flight attendant seat may be configured to secure to a monument proximate to the at least one flight attendant seat via a latch assembly when the at least one flight attendant seat is in the deployed position. An auxiliary compartment defined within the monument may be accessible when the at least one flight attendant seat is in the stowed position. The stowable flight attendant seat system and the monument may be installed within an aircraft cabin.

Stowable flight attendant seat system

A bi-directional egress hatch for a passenger aircraft may allow passengers to rapidly and safely exit an overhead cabin of the aircraft onto the main deck, while allowing cabin crew to safely ascend into the overhead cabin if need be. Hatch panels may blend in with overhead bin doors and ceiling panels of the main cabin; the inner portions of the hatch panels (facing the overhead cabin) may include anti-skid portions and graspable handles for descending passengers. The hatch may be easily activated by a passenger with a single motion (or remotely activated, or autodeployed). Once activated, the hatch panels may swing open and a telescoping ladder may deploy from the inner portion to the main deck, remaining rigid once reaching the floor. Similarly, any barriers protecting the ladder from passengers in the overhead cabin may be released, granting access to the telescoping ladder.

Bidirectional hatch for passenger rest compartment

Passenger rest compartments may be incorporated into remote areas of an aircraft, either in the overhead crown region or in lower lobe cargo decks. Each passenger rest compartment includes two-way audio communication with the flight deck and non-intrusive non-visual monitoring of the compartments and surrounding environment to determine passenger presence, absence, and general well-being as well as environmental safety. Rest compartments may be integrated into rest cabins in the overhead or lower lobe areas, the rest cabins accessible from the main passenger cabin via an entry vestibule providing dedicated enclosed paths to the overhead and lower cabins. Additional deployable egress hatches may allow passengers to rapidly return to the main deck from the overhead and lower lobe cabins in the event of an emergency. Selected passenger seats (e.g., partitioned or other premium seats) may include private access to passenger rest compartments.
