Abstract
An arrangement including a supporting structure and a reproduction of an aircraft passenger cabin, arranged inside the supporting structure. The aircraft passenger cabin is on a 1:1 scale for receiving components of cabin systems. The supporting structure is composed of standardized elements, for receiving components of the cabin system. The cabin fittings including standardized supports and connections so that the components of the cabin system can be tested under operating conditions.
