Modular trim paneling and outfitting system for an aircraft passenger cabin interior
First Claim
1. An aircraft passenger cabin outfitting system comprising:
- a first aircraft fuselage having a first cross-sectional dimension, and having a first passenger cabin therein adapted to said first cross-sectional dimension;
a second aircraft fuselage having a second cross-sectional dimension different from said first cross-sectional dimension, and having a second passenger cabin therein adapted to said second cross-sectional dimension;
a plurality of cabin interior component selected from among cabin trim components and cabin stowage bins, wherein said cabin interior components all respectively have the same dimensions and the same configurations as each other, and wherein a first one of said cabin interior components is installed in said first passenger cabin said first aircraft fuselage and a second one of said cabin interior components is installed in said second passenger cabin in said second aircraft fuselage.

Abstract
An aircraft passenger cabin includes modular interior components selected from ceiling panels, wall panels, dado panels, window funnels, light covers, and baggage compartments or hat racks. At least one interior component is a standardized modular building block that can be used uniformly and interchangeably in different cabin configurations and sizes, in different aircraft types having different fuselage cross-sectional sizes and configurations. The interior components are modularly combined so as to be adapted to different passenger cabins in the various aircraft types. The multiplicity of distinct interior components among all aircraft types in the entire product range of an aircraft manufacturer is reduced, so that the piece count of each particular type of component is increased, and the manufacturing, installation, maintenance, replacement and inventorying costs are reduced. The time and cost for a new cabin design are reduced.
