ABSTRACT:
A system and a method is provided for fitting an aircraft cabin with modular sidewall panels, window reveals, and foam insulation blocks in an integrated manner. The system comprises a sidewall panel which may have one or more openings therethrough to receive a window reveal held by snap-fit fastenings. The bezel of the window reveal may be held by snap-fit fasteners for easy removal to allow removal and cleaning of the inner dust cover disassembly of the sidewall panel. Foam insulation blocks may be molded to fit in the cavity between the outer wall of the aircraft and the sidewall panels, held in place by compressive pressure between the frames of the airframe. The outer extent of the window reveal is tapered inwardly to guide the window reveal to mating contact with an outer window assembly in the aircraft fuselage without further adjustment of the sidewall panel.
