Abstract: A cargo system for an aircraft may include one or more of the following: a cargo deck configured for the receipt of bulk cargo, the cargo deck including at least one deck panel; and a cargo transport system including a track for moving a cargo container; and at least one floor fixture exposed on the cargo deck, where the cargo transport system includes an installed state and an uninstalled state, the track being secured to the floor fixture when the cargo transport system is in the installed state and the track being displaced from the cargo deck when the cargo transport system is in the uninstalled state.

Abstract: A cargo carrier restraint device that is specially designed to permit faster and more expeditious loading of the last of a number of cargo pallets being loaded into the cargo bay of an airplane or like transport vehicle. In one form of the invention, the restraint device is movable angularly upward within the cargo bay upwardly in such manner as to provide substantial additional clearance for loading the last cargo pallet into the transport vehicle of on the order of one inch in the forward direction and on the order of one-half inch in the vertical direction. Following loading of the last pallet, the cargo restraint device can be moved angularly downward to a position wherein a device provides substantial forward and vertical restraint to the last to be loaded cargo pallets or containers.

Abstract: A security barrier made up of a specially constructed bulkhead and a novel security door hingedly mounted within the security bulkhead that provides substantial protection against assault by potential aggressors. The security barrier can be used in various types of sensitive areas, but is particularly well-suited for use in commercial aircraft to separate the passenger compartment from the pilot's compartment and thereby protect the pilots compartment from assault by terrorists and other armed aggressors. The bulkhead is made up of a plurality of sealably interconnected armor protected panels that effectively thwart access to the pilots compartment via the bulkhead. The security door is of a laminate construction that is hingedly mounted within the security bulkhead and uniquely comprises a movable portion movable from a first position to a second position upon the detection of a pressure differential between the passenger compartment and the pilot's compartment.
