Abstract
A handicapped-accessible aircraft lavatory includes a wheelchair region, a toilet assembly adjacent to and oriented at a non-zero angle with respect to the wheelchair region, and a sink assembly adjacent to the toilet assembly. The sink assembly includes a basin positioned at a predetermined height and a predetermined lateral distance with respect to the toilet seat, wherein the predetermined height and the predetermined distance are selected such that the sink assembly is within arms-reach of a passenger (e.g., a 95percentile male passenger) sitting on the toilet seat. Additional amenities such as mirrors, toilet paper, tissues, and the like may also be similarly positioned.
