An aircraft floor including at least one hinge connecting movable and fixed floor parts, which has a pivot axis parallel to a longitudinal direction. The floor also includes at least two beams, each including first and second beam portions secured respectively to the fixed and movable floor parts and connected together by a pivot link, and at least one rail including at least one first rail portion secured to the movable floor part and at least one second rail portion secured to the fixed floor part of the floor, extending the first rail portion.

Aircraft floor comprising at least one articulated movable floor part and aircraft equipped with said floor

A structural assembly for an aircraft having pairs of main gantries distributed in the longitudinal direction, two transverse panels fixed to the front and the rear of the pairs of main gantries to together define a compartment for a landing gear of the aircraft, at least one pair of secondary gantries between the main gantries, at least one crossmembers parallel to the transverse panels and that straddles at least one secondary gantry, and, for each secondary gantry and each crossmember straddling the secondary gantry, a connecting rod mounted to be able to freely rotate, via a first end, on a lower part of the crossmember and, via a second end, on an outer lateral part of the secondary gantry. Such an arrangement reduces the vertical bulk of the structural assembly.

Structural assembly for an aircraft

An aircraft including a floor positioned above a central wing box and in a front fuselage portion positioned in front of the central wing box. The floor includes at least one rail which has at least first and second rail portions and at least one articulation connecting the first and second rail portions and configured to allow a pivoting movement, about a transverse and horizontal pivot pin, between the connected first and second rail portions. By virtue of this articulation, it is possible to integrate the rails into the floor and not to position them on the floor.
