An overhead galley/crew rest system (10) for an aircraft, wherein the aircraft includes a main passenger cabin having a plurality of storage binds (34) disposed along a generally planar ceiling (36) portion thereof. The aircraft further includes an overhead storage section (38) positioned generally above the ceiling portion (36) of the main passenger cabin. The overhead galley/crew rest system (10) includes a galley cart storage area (20) disposed in this overhead storage section (38), which is capable of storing multiple galley carts (12). This galley cart storage area (20) defines a generally planar cart plane. A walkway (18) is provided that generally extends through the overhead storage section (38). The walkway (18) is generally positioned between the plurality of storage binds (34) and generally below the generally planar cart plane. A stairway (16) interconnects the main passenger cabin and the walkway (38). Similarly, a cart lift mechanism interconnects the main passenger cabin (32) to the overhead storage section (38) for individually raising and lowering the plurality of galley carts. Furthermore, a plurality of sleeping berths (122) and pursuer's's station may be included within this overhead storage section (38). <IMAGE> |
