Abstract

An aircraft including a cabin inside which a floor is installed, and at least one arranging module which is fixed solely to the floor and which includes a front wall, a rear wall, a port-side wall and a starboard-side wall which are rigidly connected to one another. The port-side and starboard-side walls each have a door, a roof and a deck fixed to each of the front, rear, port-side and starboard-side walls, and a separating system which makes it possible to separate the internal volume of the arranging module into two volumes, each being accessible through one of the doors. Such an aircraft therefore provides an arranging module which is fixed solely to the floor of the cabin, thereby facilitating the set-up thereof.

Claims (27)

1. An aircraft including:

a cabin, inside which a floor is installed, and

at least one arranging module fixed solely to the floor and which includes:

a front wall, a rear wall, a port-side wall and a starboard-side wall rigidly connected to one another, wherein the port-side and starboard-side walls each have a door,

a roof fixed to each of the front, rear, port-side and starboard-side walls,

a deck fixed to each of the front, rear, port-side and starboard-side walls, and

a separating system configured to separate an internal volume of the arranging module into two volumes, each being accessible through one of the doors, wherein the separating system includes a separating wall fixed to the roof, to the deck, and to the front and rear walls, and wherein the separating wall comprises:

at a bottom part, a lower bar which extends between the front wall and the rear wall and which is fixed to the deck, to the front wall and the rear wall,

at a top part, an upper panel which extends between the front wall and the rear wall and which is fixed to the roof, to the front wall and the rear wall, and

two openings placed between the lower bar and the upper panel,

wherein the separating system includes two shells,

wherein one of the shells is positioned in one of the volumes facing one of the openings and is fixed to the separating wall and to the front wall, and the other shell is positioned in the other volume facing the other opening and is fixed to the separating wall and to the rear wall,

wherein each shell has an indentation which extends the opening facing which said shell is fixed, such as to create a recess which is produced in the volume in which said shell is positioned and which can be accessed through the opening from the other volume,

wherein, for each recess, the arranging module includes a bed which extends lengthwise orthogonally to a longitudinal axis of the aircraft from one of the volumes as far as into the recess through the opening, and

wherein each said door is parallel to said longitudinal axis and offset from each said bed in a direction parallel to the longitudinal axis.

2. The aircraft according to claim 1 , wherein each port-side and starboard-side wall is hollow and has a housing configured to slidingly receive the door.

3. The aircraft according to claim 1 , further comprising two arranging modules placed one in front of the other,

wherein the rear wall of the arranging module which is in front has a first window therein,

wherein the front wall of the arranging module which is behind has a second window therein,

wherein the two windows are located facing one another, and

wherein each window is equipped with an obstructing device that can be moved between an open position in which the window is clear and a closed position in which the window is obstructed.

4. The aircraft according to claim 3 , wherein one of the volumes of the arranging module which is in front has the bed thereof against the rear wall thereof, wherein the volume which is on the same side and which belongs to the arranging module that is behind has the bed thereof against the front wall thereof.

5. The aircraft according to claim 1 , further comprising two arranging modules placed one in front of the other,

wherein the rear wall of the arranging module which is in front has a first window therein,

wherein the front wall of the arranging module which is behind has a second window therein,

wherein the two windows are located facing one another, and

wherein each window is equipped with an obstructing device that can be moved between an open position in which the window is clear and a closed position in which the window is obstructed.
