Cabin configuration and environment for commercial aircrafts are designed to be relatively comfortable for majority "average" passengers but are uncomfortable for minority passengers with characteristics of constitution, physique, disease, disabilities or disorders, causing lower accessibility of air transportation. In this report, for the purpose of realizing accessible air transportation for all people, issues for those passengers were comprehensively investigated, solutions were discussed, and the feasibility of the solutions was evaluated. As a result, in-flight wheelchair use as a seat, operational improvements regarding passengers with reduced mobility, improvements of economy class seats, accessible lavatories, automated equipment for supporting cabin attendants, and easing off the severe cabin environment were extracted as challenging topics for JAXA's research and developments. In order to realize them, it is necessary to develop technologies for satisfying regulations for aircraft safety, and for saving space, energy and weight. On the other hand, the solutions assumed to make a significant impact on airline's profit by reason of decrease the number of seats, huge development costs, and decrease fuel efficiency performance due to weight increase, was not sustainable for airlines and evaluated unfeasible.
