More Information
Summary:A passenger seat for an aircraft is described. The passenger seat is configurable between an upright position and a bed position. The upright position may be provided for taxi, take-off and landing events. The bed position, also referred to as a lie-flat position, is provided for long-haul travel in comfort. The passenger seat includes a seat pan, a seatback, and an armrest. The seat pan, the seatback, and the armrest form a kinematic chain by a number of pivot joints. The passenger seat also includes a linkage connecting the seat pan and the armrest. By the linkage, the armrest follows a motion of the seat pan when the passenger seat is reconfigured.
