Cut-away views of the passenger module, access corridor and boarding tube, by Andrew Novinc. See 360° panoramas here
The Eagle studio set was 12m / 40ft long in Year 1. The passenger module interior is 4.57m / 15ft wide. Unlike the exterior design, the set is not symmetrical. The corridor in the front half of the passenger module is 2.4m / 8ft long, while the rear half with seats is 3m / 10ft long. This means the studio set will not be fully compatible with the exterior design (the green areas in the diagram at left denote empty spaces assuming the Eagle is about 100ft / 30.48m long to accommodate the width and height of the studio set [see Eagle scale discussion]). The depicted "Eagle One" configuration (without the rear passenger module door) appeared in The Testament Of Arkadia only.
Plan by Marcus Lindroos. The central walkway is 1.2m/ 4ft wide and is raised. The walkway slopes down to the side doors. The seating (or storage space) is in a sunken area. If there is a starboard computer wall, it is raised level with the walkway.
Front bulkhead wall, in Dragon's Domain configuration. See more
Starboard side profile, including the computer wall. See more on computer wall.
Port side profile. Seating or storage configuration.
An unusual view of the ceiling of the passenger module. In The Last Sunset ropes and ladders are hung from the ceiling.
The rear door in the passenger module is only ever seen open in The Testament Of Arkadia (showing the moonbuggy and a section of wall) and in The Last Sunset during the crash (only boxes can be seen). In both cases there is only a single door frame- not an inner and outer door (like at the front of the passenger module).
Theoretically the passenger module could be mounted facing in either direction. This passenger module configuration probably is not detachable from the Eagle since there is no rear door and the cargo compartment (which is identical to the usual passenger module wall in The Testament Of Arkadia) extends into the aft access corridor. It is probably used on missions carrying bulky cargo such as the moonbuggy, where there is no need for leaving the passenger module on the surface.
