Abstract (Englisch)

Existing passenger service systems do not fulfil airline and passenger requirements for 500 + pax size aircraft and long flight duration. The retention of such a system for large capacity aircraft would misuse high value space aboard of the aircraft. The new system will reduce the overall existing system weight and thus the fuel burn, the cabin crew workload, generate extra seats and improve the individual passenger service. The possible overlapping of catering and passenger boarding allows reduction of ground turnaround time and thus improve airport capacity exploitation. The passenger service items will be stored in specially designed containers in the cargo compartment. Each item can be individually handled via a control panel in the cabin. A computer controlled conveyance system will transport the items to the service station on the passenger deck. Storage of waste will be handled in similar process
