ABSTRACT:
A rigid cargo barrier for a cargo airplane includes a lightweight structural bulkhead that is attached to the floor and fuselage shell of the aircraft and a plurality of compact attachments that connect the bulkhead to the floor and fuselage shell of the aircraft. The rigid cargo barrier also includes a restraint system that connects the bulkhead to the aircraft floor and fuselage shell. The restraint system restrains fuselage expansion under crash loads to maintain the bulkhead in place during a crash event and, hence, provide protection to the crew from shifting cargo.
