The seating systems comprise a seat module and a seat track assembly comprising a plurality of seat-receiving regions, a seat track, and an electrical distribution system. The electrical distribution system comprises a plurality of track electrical contacts disposed along the seat track in the seat-receiving regions. The seat module comprises a base coupler configured to couple with the seat track at any seat-receiving region and a seat module electrical system having a seat electrical contact. The base coupler and the seat track are configured to position the seat electrical contact in connection with the track electrical contact of any seat-receiving region to which the base coupler is coupled. The methods comprise coupling the base coupler to a seat-receiving region, which comprises forming a connection between the seat electrical contact and the respective track electrical contact of the seat-receiving region, and providing electricity to the seat module via the electrical connection.

Seating systems for aircraft and methods of arranging seating systems

A seat system is configured to be within an internal cabin of an aircraft. The seat system includes one or more seat supports configured to support one or more seated passengers. One or more backrests are moveably secured to the one or more seat supports. The one or more backrests are selectively moveable between a forward-facing position and a rearward-facing position.

Adaptable seat systems and methods for an internal cabin of an aircraft

A platform system is configured for use within an internal cabin of a vehicle. The platform system includes a base, and a support plate moveably coupled to the base. The support plate is configured to be moved in relation to the base to allow a wheelchair to be selectively secured to and removed from the support plate. For example, the support plate is moveable between a first position in which the wheelchair is supported on the support plate in a forward-facing position within the internal cabin, and a second position in which at least a portion of the support plate is moved into an aisle of the internal cabin to allow the wheelchair to be moved onto and off the support plate.

Platform system for securing a wheelchair in position within an internal cabin of a vehicle

A visual partition system is provided. The system comprises a number of dry mist dispensers that generate a particle curtain comprising liquid micro-droplets. A gutter system collects liquid from the particle curtain, and at least one vacuum extractor is operably coupled to the gutter system. A liquid recirculation system collects liquid from the gutter system via the at least one vacuum extractor and returns it to the dry mist dispensers for reuse of the liquid.
