Abstract
In an aircraft there is customarily provided, for receiving a load in the cargo compartment, a cargo deck that comprises a plurality of ball mats, floor panels or similar flat floor elements. Also provided are a plurality of roller conveyors or similar profile elements mounted in the long direction of the aircraft to accommodate transport rollers, PDUs, latches or similar functional units for moving and fixing the load on the cargo deck. To simplify the arrangement and the assembly it is proposed in the present invention that the floor elements at least in sections be firmly connected to the profile elements to form a deck section that extends across the entire width of the cargo compartment, in such a way that longitudinal forces imposed on the deck section, in particular imposed by the load, oriented in the direction of an aircraft long axis and acting as shear forces in the surface direction of the cargo deck, can be transmitted to outer edges of the deck section and can be dissipated from the outer edges to an outer skin of the aircraft that is reinforced by ribs.
