  • Patent number: 7475850
    Abstract: The invention relates to an cockpit floor (4) for an aircraft comprising a plurality of spars (14) extending along a longitudinal direction (X) of the aircraft and a plurality of cross-beams (16) assembled to said spars (14) and running along a transverse direction (Y) of the aircraft, the spars (14) and the cross-beams (16) forming a primary structure (12) of the floor (14), the floor also comprising attachment means (64) used to assemble it to the aircraft fuselage. According to the invention, the attachment means comprise a plurality of rods (68) resisting forces applied along the longitudinal (X), each of the rods (68) having an aft end connected to the main structure and a forward end that will be connected to said fuselage, such that each rod is oriented such that its distance from the centre of the floor increases towards the forward end.
