Aircraft Cabin Width Cabin Height
Mooney 201 43.5" 44.5"
Beechcraft V35 Bonanza 42.0" 50.0"
Cessna 182 42.0" 48.0"
Piper Arrow 41.0" 45.0"

I looked up the Mooney because it has a reputation as being tight. That width measurement is at the elbows - I think it is 38 at the shoulders. I don't recall any staggered seating arrangements in aircraft, although they were not uncommon in cyclecars. Perhaps it was a matter of equality for a co-pilot, although there are also tandem trainers.
