Abstract
A single-size interior cabin sidewall panel fits aircraft of different sizes. The panel is fabricated so that in its "relaxed" state it has a curved configuration which requires the panel to be unbended to fit in the aircraft. Larger aircraft require more unbending of the panel than do smaller aircraft. This results in a uniform pressure across the panel which promotes a close fit between adjacent overlapping sidewall panels.
