Modular passenger seat for an aircraft

A method of manufacturing a passenger seat assembly for an aircraft, the method comprising:

• designing a one-piece composite structural frame in concert with an airframe structure of the aircraft;
• forming the one-piece composite structural frame such that it comprises N seat subframes corresponding to N passenger seat locations;
• fabricating N comfort frame assemblies for the passenger seat assembly, each of the N comfort frame assemblies comprising a respective support frame and a respective fabric carrier, which defines a seating surface, coupled to the respective support frame;
• and
• coupling the N comfort frame assemblies to the one-piece composite structural frame.

A passenger seat assembly for an aircraft, the passenger seat assembly comprising:

• a one-piece structural frame configured to support at least one passenger, the one-piece structural frame comprising a first seat subframe, a second seat subframe, and an aircraft mounting structure integrally formed therein;
• a first comfort frame assembly coupled to the first seat subframe, the first comfort frame assembly comprising a first one-piece support frame and a first fabric crier coupled to the first one-piece support frame;
• and
• a second comfort frame assembly coupled to the second seat subframe, the second comfort frame assembly comprising a second one-piece support frame and a second fabric carrier coupled to the second one-piece support frame.
