ABSTRACT:
A galley for storing and preparing food for on-board service in a passenger aircraft has its main floor located in the aft portion of the fuselage and raised above the main passenger deck. The distance between the ceiling of the main passenger deck and the floor is sufficient to provide head room for personnel using the galley. The airplane has a rearwardly concave, spherically-shaped pressure bulkhead positioned in the aft of the fuselage. The floor of the galley abuts the spherical bulkhead to take advantage of the increased floor space provided by the concave portion of the bulkhead. The galley includes facilities for preparing food stored in modular, portable containers and mobile service carts. The service carts are normally stored in recesses provided below countertop level in the galley when not in use. The modular containers and service carts are lifted between the galley floor and the main passenger deck by a lift proportioned to accommodate a mobile service cart or single modular unit. A stairway interconnects the main passenger deck and the galley floor for galley ingress and egress by service personnel. Additional modular unit storage is provided in the forwardly facing portion of the galley between the galley floor and the floor of the main passenger deck.
