Abstract
A stairway used for gaining access from a theoretically horizontal lower level to a theoretically horizontal higher level, and including a succession of intermediate steps between these two levels. A subassembly of intermediate steps corresponding to the steps closest to the lower level is mobile between a first deployed position at which the lower intermediate steps are in the extension of other intermediate steps, and a raised position at which the lower intermediate steps are in a substantially vertical position.

A stairway for an aircraft making it possible to access from a lower level, assumed to be horizontal, an upper level also assumed to be horizontal, and comprising:
- a series of intermediate steps between the upper and lower levels,
- wherein a subset of intermediate steps corresponding to steps closest to the lower level is movable between a first deployed position at which the intermediate steps of the subset are in extension of the other intermediate steps, and a turned-up position at which the subset of intermediate steps is in a substantially vertical position.
