Embodiment approach

[0101] For the first embodiment, there can be eg 3 different modes.

[0102] The first mode is still two aisles. 10 seats are arranged together, with an aisle on each side, then

[0103] Seat width = (240-19*2-3*10) / 10 = 17.2 inches

[0104] The second model, with only one aisle, is roughly in the middle. There are 11 seats in the bottom row and 9 in the top row. There are more seats in the bottom row than the top row because the fuselage is round. With the bottom row of seats roughly along the center of the fuselage, space for the top row is reduced. Being round, we can assume that 14 inches of space on either side of the top row of seats is unusable. Thus, for the top row,

[0105] Width of each top row seat = (240-19-3*9-14*2) / 9 = 18.4 inches

[0106] For the bottom row,

[0107] The width of each bottom row of seats = (240-19-3*11) / 11 = 17.1 inches

[0108] The third model, with only one side aisle, has 10 seats in the top row and 10 in the bottom row. For the to...

Abstract

A seating arrangement with improved seating comfort is disclosed. In one embodiment, the seating arrangement is for a transportation vehicle. The arrangement includes seats at least having two levels adjacent to single-level seats. The multi-level seats include at least a bottom row of seats and a top row of seats. In one embodiment, the bottom row seats are on a floor; and there is an imaginary horizontal plane that is parallel to the floor, and that at least a part of the top row seats and at least a part of the bottom row seats intersect. The single-level seats include at least two rows, with at least one seat in each row being adjacent to the aisle, to allow passengers to access the single-level seats. In another embodiment, a seating arrangement includes only multi-level seats. In yet another embodiment, a computer-implemented method is applicable to the seats, such as allowing the display of a visual representation of a top-row seat and a bottom-row seat.
