Abstract

An arrangement in a cabin of an aircraft includes a plurality of passenger seats, which create seat rows arranged between at least one aisle and a cabin wall. At least one first section has at least one row with a first number of passenger seats and at least one second section has at least one seat row with a second number of passenger seats, that is below the first number, are created. The at least one seat row of the first section and the at least one seat row of the second section directly border on the at least one aisle. In the second section between a passenger seat facing the cabin wall and the respective cabin wall a stowage compartment is arranged, which is positionable on a cabin floor.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. An arrangement in a cabin of an aircraft, comprising:
a plurality of passenger seats, the plurality of passenger seats arranged in seat rows arranged between at least one aisle and a cabin wall,
wherein at least one first section having at least one row with a first number of passenger seats and at least one second section having at least one seat row with a second number of passenger seats are defined, wherein the second number is smaller than the first number,
wherein the at least one seat row of the first section and the at least one seat row of the second section directly border on the at least one aisle,
wherein in the second section between a passenger seat and the cabin wall a stowage compartment is arranged, the stowage compartment configured to be positioned on a cabin floor, and
wherein the passenger seat adjacent the stowage compartment comprises an arm rest between the passenger seat and the stowage compartment along a lateral direction perpendicular to a longitudinal direction of the cabin,
wherein the stowage compartment comprises an extension in a vertical direction, the extension corresponding to an extension of a laterally direct neighbouring passenger seat, and
wherein the stowage compartment comprises a forward delimitation wall facing a passenger seat of the at least one first section arranged in front of the stowage compartment in a seating direction, the forward delimitation wall comprising a plurality of sections arranged at an angle to one another or arranged in a curved manner to one another.

2. The arrangement of claim 1 , wherein the stowage compartment comprises an outer delimiting wall facing the cabin wall, the outer delimiting wall following the contour of the cabin wall.

3. The arrangement of claim 1 , wherein the first number is three and the second number is two.

4. The arrangement of claim 1 , wherein the stowage compartment comprises at least one access opening facing to a laterally neighbouring passenger seat, the access opening configured to be closable through at least one stowage compartment flap.

5. The arrangement of claim 1 , wherein the stowage compartment does not extend over a laterally neighbouring passenger seat in a longitudinal direction of the cabin in a seating direction.

6. The arrangement of claim 1 , wherein the stowage compartment extends up to a forward end of the second section in the longitudinal direction of the cabin.

7. The arrangement of claim 1 , wherein the forward delimitation wall is configured for allowing a backrest of the passenger seat arranged in front of the forward delimitation wall to swivel into a swivelled back position up to at least 20°.

8. The arrangement of claim 1 , wherein a plurality of second rows are arranged in the second section one behind the other, wherein the stowage compartment extends along at least one of the second rows in a longitudinal direction of the cabin.

9. The arrangement of claim 8 , wherein the stowage compartment extends along a plurality of the second rows of the second section in the longitudinal direction of the cabin.

10. The arrangement of claim 8 , wherein the stowage compartment extends along all second rows of the second section along the cabin longitudinal direction.

11. An aircraft, comprising:
a fuselage;
a cabin created therein; and
an arrangement comprising:
a plurality of passenger seats, the plurality of passenger seats arranged in seat rows arranged between at least one aisle and a cabin wall,
wherein at least one first section having at least one row with a first number of passenger seats and at least one second section having at least one seat row with a second number of passenger seats are defined, wherein the second number is smaller than the first number,
wherein the at least one seat row of the first section and the at least one seat row of the second section directly border on the at least one aisle,
wherein in the second section between a passenger seat and an adjacent cabin wall a stowage compartment is arranged, the stowage compartment configured to be positioned on a cabin floor, and
wherein the stowage compartment comprises an extension in a vertical direction, the extension corresponding to an extension of a laterally direct neighbouring passenger seat, and
wherein the stowage compartment comprises a forward delimitation wall facing a passenger seat of the at least one first section arranged in front of the stowage compartment in a seating direction, the forward delimitation wall comprising a plurality of sections arranged at an angle to one another or arranged in a curved manner to one another.

12. The aircraft of claim 11 , wherein the arrangement is positioned at a door region and wherein the second section directly borders on the door region.

13. The aircraft of claim 11 , wherein the arrangement is arranged in a tapered fuselage region.
