To determine how much space would be left in the aisle of the airliner, we need to calculate the total width occupied by the seats and subtract it from the total width of the airliner.

The airliner is 9.34 feet wide, and each seat is 1.46 feet wide. Since there are 5 seats in each row, the total width occupied by the seats in one row would be 5 seats multiplied by 1.46 feet per seat, which equals 7.3 feet.

To find the space left in the aisle, we subtract the total width occupied by the seats from the width of the airliner: 9.34 feet - 7.3 feet = 2.04 feet.
