Abstract
A wall assembly for a passenger cabin such as an aircraft passenger suite. The assembly includes a first fixed wall, a second fixed wall positioned relative to the first fixed wall to define an interior space, an entrance formed between the first fixed wall and the second fixed wall for accessing the interior space, and a movable wall section movably mounted to the first fixed wall. In use, the movable wall section is movable between a first position in the entrance and a second position in the interior space, wherein motion includes at least rotational and vertical motion components. In a particular use case, the wall portion is temporarily movable to expand the entrance to facilitate reduced mobility passenger access into the interior space.
