Abstract
The lavatory unit shown as a whole by reference number comprises a box-shaped lavatory body formed of panel material, which is positioned to an appropriate position on a floor panel of an aircraft. A toilet unit is fixed on a floor panel inside the lavatory body and a wash basin unit is equipped to one side of said toilet unit The lavatory body stows a storage module capable of being pulled out of and stowed again to the body Said storage module includes for example a closet for storing the coats and jackets of passengers etc. A state is shown where the closet is pulled out of the lavatory body expanding the lavatory unit. The space inside the lavatory is expanded, allowing the use of a bench etc., thus improving the service provided to passengers. A part of the closet being pulled out protrudes to the space in front of the aircraft door but since this space is not used during flight, the space inside the aircraft is utilized efficiently.
