ABSTRACT:
Module sidewalls (14) define an office space adjacent to an aisle (6) in an aircraft passenger cabin. The sidewalls (14) are dimensioned to extend downwardly substantially to the cabin floor (2) and upwardly a distance sufficient to screen the office space. The sidewalls (14) are spaced from the cabin ceiling (4) to allow air circulation and create a feeling of openness. The sidewalls (14) define an entry opening (16), and a recess (20) to allow persons in the aisle (6) to step into the recess (20) out of the way of other persons or carts in the aisle (6). The module (12) includes a seat (22), a desk top (24) and equipment such as a telephone (26) and a computer link. The elements of the module (12) are arranged to maximize elbow room and leg room within a predetermined cabin floor area. Hexagonal modules (12) are arranged in a single continuous row or in two contiguous nested rows between two aisles (6 ). Side modules (12', 12") are formed partly by the cabin sidewalls (8).
