Universal cabin sidewall panel for aircraft

A single-size interior cabin sidewall panel fits aircraft of different sizes. The panel is fabricated so that in its "relaxed" state it has a curved configuration which requires the panel to be unbended to fit in the aircraft. Larger aircraft require more unbending of the panel than do smaller aircraft. This results in a uniform pressure across the panel which promotes a close fit between adjacent overlapping sidewall panels.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION The present invention pertains to a cabin sidewall panel assembly for an aircraft.
The panel assembly includes a number of flexible panels each having a first radius of curvature when in a "relaxed" state (when not subjected to any bending forces).
Also included are means for attaching the flexible sidewall panels to the aircraft in a manner that (i) adjacent portions of flexible panels overlap, and (ii) each of the flexible sidewall panels has a second radius of curvature which is greater than the radius of curvature in the relaxed state.
In this manner, the overlapping portion of the flexible panel is supported against the overlapped portion of the adjacent flexible panel so as to maintain a close fit therebetween.
The present invention provides a sidewall panel assembly which may be used in aircraft having different fuselage curvatures.
In the present invention, the attaching means includes (1) means for connecting the sidewall panels to a first aircraft having a smaller fuselage curvature so that each of the sidewall panels has a radius of curvature which is greater than its radius of curvature in the relaxed state, and (2) means for connecting each sidewall panel to a second aircraft having a larger fuselage curvature so that the sidewall panel has a radius of curvature which is greater than the radius of curvature when it was attached to the first aircraft.
