Abstract
A passenger seat assembly for an aircraft includes a seat having a front side and a back side separated from one another in a depthwise direction, and a first lateral side and a second lateral side separated from one another in a widthwise direction; and an armrest located at one of the first lateral side or the second lateral side of the seat. The armrest includes a tray table movable between a stowed configuration and a deployed configuration. A position of the tray table is adjustable, relative to the seat, in the depthwise direction and in a heightwise direction when in the deployed configuration.

A passenger seat assembly for an aircraft comprising:
- a seat having a front side and a back side separated from one another in a depthwise direction, and a first lateral side and a second lateral side separated from one another in a widthwise direction;
- and
- an armrest located at one of the first lateral side or the second lateral side of the seat, the armrest comprising a tray table movable between a stowed configuration and a deployed configuration,
- wherein a position of the tray table is adjustable, relative to the seat, in the depthwise direction and in a heightwise direction when in the deployed configuration,
- wherein the tray table is housed in the armrest in the stowed configuration,
- wherein the armrest comprises a cavity configured to house the tray table in the armrest when the tray table is in the stowed configuration,
- wherein the armrest comprises a first releasable cover configured to provide a surface for a passenger arm and to cover the tray table when the tray table is in the stowed configuration,
- wherein the first releasable cover is configured to be opened when the tray table is to be moved from the stowed configuration to the deployed configuration,
- wherein the armrest comprises a second releasable cover configured to enclose a front side opening of the cavity when the tray table is in the stowed configuration,
- wherein the second releasable cover is configured to automatically open when the tray table is moved in a forward direction.
