ABSTRACT:
An overhead luggage compartment system for a passenger aircraft is equipped with luggage compartments formed as shells that can be adjusted in their tilted position and in their elevated position for easy access. In the closed position the shells are fully recessed into the ceiling structure of the aircraft cabin. Such a structure does not require any separate covers or lids for the luggage compartments. Additionally, a power drive lifts, lowers, and tilts the compartment shells. In the lowered position the shells are fully accessible even for short people. In the upper, recessed position the shells are closed and locked.
