Galley footstep systems and methods

Abstract:

A compartment door of a galley within an internal cabin of a vehicle (such as an aircraft) includes a front panel having a front outer surface, and a footstep system secured to the front panel. The footstep system is moveable between a retracted position and an extended support position. The footstep system is vertically oriented in the retracted position. The footstep system outwardly extends and folds to provide a step surface in the extended support position.
