Aircraft workstation which is convertible between a flight attendant's seat and a computer terminal

A multi-function workstation for an aircraft cabin, the workstation comprising:

• a. a frame which forms an enclosure;
• b. a first panel which is attached to a lower part of the frame for movement between a generally vertical stowed position inside the frame enclosure, and a generally horizontal position for use as a seat in a first functional mode;
• c. a second panel which is attached to the frame above the first panel for movement between a generally vertical stowed position inside the frame enclosure, and a generally horizontal position, the second panel including (i) a cushion on a first side to act as a headrest when the second panel is in the generally vertical stowed position during the first functional mode, and (ii) a receptacle for supporting a computer keyboard on a second side of the second panel so that the keyboard is supported in a generally horizontal manner when the second panel is in the generally horizontal position for use of the keyboard by a computer operator in a second functional mode;
• d. a third panel for accomodating the computer operator at the keyboard receptacle in a seated position;
• and
• e. means for connecting the third panel to the frame below the second panel in a manner that the third panel is movable between a generally vertical stowed position inside the frame enclosure, and a generally horizontal position in which the third panel is spaced further away from the frame than the second panel in order to seat the operator on the third panel when accessing the keyboard receptacle in the second functional mode.
