Airframe Cabin Configuration to Eliminate Overhead Bins
This project reimagines the interior airframe configuration of long-haul configured narrow-body jets, such as the Airbus A321XLR, by removing overhead bins and installing a central retrofittable cubby system for carry-on bags. This central solution in the mid-cabin of the aircraft is accompanied by large, more accessible lavatories and a walk-up refreshment and snack galley. This aims to improve operational efficiency, enhance passenger comfort and accessibility, and improve overall amenities for long-haul flights while preserving the current passenger capacity and structural integrity of narrow-body jets.
Our team collaborated with on this project.
