AIRCRAFT LAVATORY FOR A PERSON IN A WHEELCHAIR

摘要

An aircraft lavatory includes first and third walls extending inwardly from a second wall and a fourth wall connecting the first wall to the third wall. A countertop extends along a portion of the first wall. A sink is disposed in the countertop. The countertop defines an under--countertop recess free from obstructions. A toilet is disposed adjacent to both the second wall and the third wall and defines a toilet axis bisecting the toilet. A door extends from the third wall to the fourth wall such that the door defines an intersection between the third wall and the fourth wall. A center point of the door defines an access axis disposed at an access angle with respect to the toilet axis. When a person in a wheelchair enters the lavatory area along the access axis, the countertop recess accommodates at least a portion of the person's body.
