A galley assembly is provided for an aircraft. The galley assembly includes a galley including a frame having modular compartments. The galley assembly includes a first module kit configured to be fit to at least one of the modular compartments. The first module kit configures the at least one modular compartment to receive a first component module of a first component type. The galley assembly includes a second module kit configured to be fit to the at least one modular compartment. The second module kit configures the at least one modular compartment to receive a second component module of a second component type that is different than the first component type.

A monument is presented. The monument comprises a floor panel; a left face panel perpendicular to the floor panel; a right face panel perpendicular to the floor panel; and an attachment system connecting the floor panel, the left face panel, and the right face panel. The attachment system comprises a right corner bracket fitting connecting the right face panel to the floor panel; a left corner bracket fitting connecting the left face panel to the floor panel; and a filler panel connected to and extending between the right corner bracket fitting and the left corner bracket fitting.

An apparatus comprises a composite sandwich panel, a seal, and a hinge. The composite sandwich panel has a first edge in a first over-crush edge region, wherein a thickness of the composite sandwich panel decreases within the first over-crush edge region in a direction towards the first edge. The seal is bonded to the first over-crush edge region of the composite sandwich panel and extending past the first edge. The hinge is connected to the composite sandwich panel such that an axis of rotation of the hinge is positioned over the first over-crush edge region of the composite sandwich panel.

A decorative laminate is disclosed, including a first laminate layer containing an anti-microbial agent and a second laminate layer. A decorative layer is disposed selectively between the first laminate layer and the second laminate layer. The first and second laminate layers include a thermoplastic fluoropolymer material. The first laminate layer, the decorative layer, and the second laminate layer are laminated together to form the decorative laminate, which is configured for application to a structural component.

In an example, an overhead payload module is described. The overhead payload module comprises a ceiling assembly, an aisle floor assembly, a first payload assembly attached to the ceiling assembly and the aisle floor assembly to form a first side of the overhead payload module, and a second payload assembly attached to the ceiling assembly and the aisle floor assembly to form a second side of the overhead payload module. The first payload assembly comprises a first payload module and a first overhead stowbin module structurally integrated with the first payload module and having a first stowage area configured to receive stowbins. The second payload assembly is positioned opposite the first payload assembly to form an aisle therebetween and comprises a second payload module and a second overhead stowbin module structurally integrated with the second payload module and having a second stowage area configured to receive stowbins.

A trash containment system and method includes a container housing including one or more panels that define a retaining chamber within the container housing. The retaining chamber is configured to removably receive and retain a trash container. The container housing is configured to be retained within a compartment of a monument. A door is configured to be moved between an open position and a closed position. The retaining chamber is exposed in the open position and closed in the closed position.

A modular faucet system for an aircraft comprising a faucet outlet, a flow valve, and an actuator. The faucet outlet is configured to be installed on the aircraft. The flow valve is configured to be installed on the aircraft separately from the faucet outlet, to be connected by a first water line to a water supply comprising a water tank on the aircraft, and to be connected by a second water line to the faucet outlet. The actuator is configured to be installed on the aircraft separately from the faucet outlet and the flow valve. The actuator comprises a touchless sensor that is configured to detect a user of the modular faucet system. The actuator is configured to generate a control signal to open the flow valve to provide water from the water supply to the faucet outlet in response to detection of the user by the touchless sensor.

Method and apparatus for providing a modular unit through a confined entryway. The modular unit includes portions that are foldable between a transit configuration and a deployed configuration. In the transit configuration, the modular unit can fit through the confined entryway. In the deployed configuration, the modular unit may not fit through the door, but can have larger dimensions. Once past the confined entryway, the foldable portions can be quickly moved to the deployed configuration and fixed in place with a small number of pins or other fasteners. In some instances, multiple modular units may be attached together to form a larger unit. The modular units can include foldable portions, and the modular units can be connected together with a relatively small number of fasteners.

An example of operating a display system of a lavatory of a vehicle is provided. The method includes: (i) receiving, at a controller, information indicating that the lavatory is in use; (ii) in response to receiving the information, operating, by the controller, the display system in a first state while the lavatory is in use; (iii) determining, by the controller, that the lavatory is no longer in use; and (iv) in response to determining that the lavatory is no longer in use, operating, by the controller, the display system in a second state.
