Summary: | A method of determining a seating arrangement for an aircraft cabin includes entering configuration parameters into a processor including a cabin width, a quantity of aisles, a minimum aisle width, and a quantity of columns of seats, wherein each seat is movable between a seated configuration and a bed configuration. The method additionally includes entering seat parameters describing the taper in seat width from a main portion to a footrest, and entering configuration rules wherein in at least one column of an inboard column set and/or an outboard column set, the seats are reversed in direction and/or are staggered. The method further includes determining, using the processor, a seating arrangement including a column quantity in each column set, and a seat direction and/or a stagger for each column in the seating arrangement that results in a maximum seat width at a main portion of the seats. |
