ABSTRACT:
The invention provides centerline luggage bin assemblies, for retrofitting existing aircraft with replacement, preferably larger, overhead storage bins, that are compatible with the existing aircraft bin support structure for original equipment bins. The assemblies include both a bin structure and supporting brackets that engage the existing aircraft bin supports with little or no modification to the existing supports. This facilitates rapid retrofit of the aircraft, thereby reducing aircraft out-of-service time and also costs of manpower used to retrofit the aircraft.
