Abstract
A seat system for a cabin of a transportation system includes a first seat unit, a second seat unit, and a rail system attachable to a floor of the cabin, having two rails that run parallel to each other, for receiving the seat units on selective positions. A line-up of a plurality of first seat units and at least one second seat unit on the rail system constitutes a seat arrangement. The first seat unit includes a seat frame having a seat cushion and a back cushion. The second seat unit includes a seat frame having a foldable seat cushion and a back cushion. The second seat frame includes two forward seat legs supported on two auxiliary rail segments that are arranged between the rails in a region. The forward seat legs are guidable underneath the seat cushion of a first seat unit arranged in front of it.
