Abstract
A passenger seat/bed arrangement in a tiered architecture in an aircraft cabin with limited height, wherein headroom and egress/ingress provisions are enhanced without constraining the positions of adjoining passenger's seat/beds.
Claims15
A passenger seat arrangement along the axis of an aircraft within the fuselage of an aircraft, and supported by a floor comprising:
- one first seat arranged at a first level, and one second seat arranged at a second level, wherein said second level is higher than the first level, and wherein each of the first seat and the second seat comprise a movable sitting surface configured to support a seat of a passenger in between an upright seating position and a reclined lying position, and wherein the second seat is constructed in such a manner that a movement of its sitting surface from the upright seating position into the reclined lying position elevates a lowest point of the sitting surface which results in an increase in a distance between the sitting surface of the first seat in the upright position and the lowest point on the sitting surface of the second seat, thereby providing greater headroom for an occupant of the first seat.
