van Meurs, Odette (author)In this graduation project, a concept for a class 3 crew rest is developed. This is an attendant seat for TTL, which can be folded out into a resting facility with a leg rest and a reclined back rest. The OEM, the buyer of the C3CR, values durable products in a small space envelope. They implement the C3CR in the aircraft, when it is sold to an...master thesis 2017
