MODULAR FLOOR SECTION FOR AIRCRAFT

摘要

A floor section for a vehicle cabin includes juxtaposed profiled elements of identical cross section. Each profiled element includes a mainly planar elongated cross member and a generally flat elongated panel. The cross member includes a lower stiffener, is positioned in a transverse vertical plane, and is attachable at two extremities to a vehicle frame. The elongated panel is positioned in a horizontal plane and includes an overlap region along one longitudinal edge and a bearing region along another longitudinal edge. The overlap region and the bearing region are of similar width and of total thickness less than or equal to a mean panel thickness. The panel is perpendicular to the cross member, and a bearing region underside is coplanar with a lower face of the elongated panel and is secured to the cross member at two or more points substantially in line with a middle of the bearing region.
