Abstract
An aircraft passenger seating arrangement has at least one passenger seat within an enclosure and an aisle located within the enclosure adjacent to the seat with no seats located adjacent to an opposite side of the aisle from the seat. The enclosure has a frame with a symmetrical cross section, the frame having a curved perimeter wherein the height of the cross section is different than the width to minimize cross sectional area of the aircraft body to reduce sonic boom signature.
