Aircraft that have fuselages including a series of frames spaced apart
according to a frame pitch. The series of frames are covered by an
aircraft skin to define an interior volume of the aircraft. The interior
volume contains a series of rows of seats separated according to a seat
pitch. The seat pitch may be indexed to the frame pitch such that seats
are located between adjacent ones of the series of frames to permit a
reduced-perimeter aircraft fuselage with substantially equal passenger
comfort metrics. In some embodiments, in addition, a series of windows
are located adjacent outboard seats of the series of rows of seats to
permit ergonomically appropriate viewing through the series of windows by
passengers seated in the outboard seats.
