ABSTRACT:
This invention relates to removable systems for supporting interior passenger elements within an aircraft fuselage (1). The invention is directed toward increasing the efficiency of load transfer, providing quick conversion, and maximizing cargo space. A plurality of longitudinal sections (2, 2') are arranged end-to-end along an axis and connected together by extension/retraction joints (14, 28, 28'). A first end of a diagonal strut (8, 50, 50') is nontranslatably connected to a section (2, 2') just forward of each joint (14, 28, 28'). The other end of strut (8, 50, 50') is nontranslatably connected to the fuselage (1) aft of joint (14, 28, 28'). Axial loads on sections (2, 2') cause sections (2, 2') to slip axially relative to each other, and such loads are transferred from sections (2, 2') to struts (8, 50, 50') and are reacted through fuselage (1). Vertical and side loads are reacted by transverse members (4, 4') that are slip-connected to fuselage ( 1) and by vertical trusses (6, 40).
