No adjustment of the sliding screens was designed in, providing adjustment
only provides the opportunity to get it wrong.
The philosophy was that the pallet at 1.04 thick aluminum skinned honeycomb
panel and the track extrusion would maintain straightness.
Keeping the screen gap parallel
The large gusset and the vanity shelf would keep the aft and forward stationary
panel perpendicular to the wardrobes maintaining alignment
Keeping the screens aligned
Neither Boeing nor Airbus have requirements for Z adjustment
Introduction of Z adjustment will allow some adjustment of the screen alignment
Vanity Table not square
It has been recognized that the Vanity Table end is not truly square.
The engineering tolerance and manufacturing methods (composite part) do
mean that a angle tolerance of +/- .5 degree have been noted.
This generally results in a wardrobe to fwd stationary panel angle greater
than 90 degrees.

Results Terminology
There are effectively 3 results that have been identified with
regard to the Sliding Screen alignment and gap.
1. Screen Alignment where the top area of the Sliding
Screens are offset to each other, where this has been
considered a problem it is generally the forward screen
that is more outward of the suite than the aft sliding
screen, in line with the vanity edge being greater than 90
degrees.
2. Screen Gap Not Parallel Where the Sliding Screens
may be touching at either the bottom or the top and there
is a gap at the other end, where this has been
considered a problem it is generally the bottom that is
touching and the top has a gap, up to .20 inches.
3. Screen Non Consistent Gap Where a non consistent
gap over length of the sliding sliding where maybe the
Sliding Screens touch top and bottom but not in the
middle. This is not a problem that is addressed here as it
relates to the Sliding Screen detail assemblies and not
the installation alignment.

To address the Installation Alignment and Parallel
Gap issues B/E has considered a Z adjustment Seat
Track Fitting
Simple Z adjustment washers where considered
but to assist with Installation adjustment from above
the suite pallets was considered necessary
A Z adjustment fitting was therefore developed, An
early prototype was reviewed and further
adjustments made.
Note all fittings within the B777 and A380 mini suites
can not be reached to access adjustment.

The Theory
Related to Fwd Sliding Screen
Rotating fitting A + E clockwise will provide
X+ve
Rotating fitting A clockwise will provide V+ve
Rotating fitting E clockwise will provide V-ve
The same can be said for the Aft Sliding Screen however
as the B777 generally does not have fitting D & H, it is
hoped that through trials only forward fitting adjustment
will be required and the aft sliding screen with the large
machined gusset can act as the target.
Expectations
Non Linear movements of the Sliding Screens will result
from adjustment of the new fittings due to other parts of
the suite creating complex adjustment characteristics.
Concerns
Negative knock on effects could result including
Misalignment of Wardrobe door
Sliding Screen mechanism become less smooth
Reduced clearance with seat

Conclusions
The use of adjustable Z fittings will allow adjustment of both screen alignment
and parallelism
The results show consistency and are thought to be predictable across
individual suites
Although multiple suites may skew results and installation adjustment
directions will need to consider multiple in line suites
The results have produced a wide enough adjustment range to conclude that
further methods of adjustment should not be considered
Next steps
Introduction of Z adjustment fittings will require Static testing and substantiation
to allow fitment to already certified product types (B777 and A380)
Earliest opportunity via static testing for Boeing MC on B777 program
Introduce Z adjustment fittings into A345 program, commercial implications to be
considered
