Abstract
Seat assemblies and aircraft interiors are provided. An aircraft interior includes a floor, a seat base fixed to the floor, a seat frame, a seat body, an obstacle, and a seat maze. The seat frame is selectively fixed to the seat base and includes a frame rail circumscribing the seat base to define a bounding area in which the seat base may translate relative to the seat frame. The seat body is mounted on the seat frame and includes an arm portion. The obstacle is proximate the arm portion of the seat body. The seat maze is configured to guide the seat frame around a clearance area within the bounding area to maintain a predetermined clearance between the arm portion and the obstacle.
