Abstract
A method, apparatus, and system for creating a passenger service unit layout for a production aircraft. Passenger seat configuration information describing seat locations and overhead bin configuration information describing overhead service unit length ranges for the production aircraft is identified. Lengths available for placing passenger service units in the production aircraft is determined using the passenger seat configuration information and the overhead bin configuration information for the production aircraft. The passenger service units are placed in the lengths using a set of priority rules for the passenger service units to determine placements of the passenger service units, wherein the set of priority rules specify a priority in placing different types of the passenger service units. A model of a three-dimensional passenger service unit layout with determined placements for the passenger service units for the production aircraft is generated.
