Abstract: There are provided examples of an enhanced cargo capacity aircraft, converted from a datum aircraft. The enhanced cargo capacity aircraft includes the datum aircraft and a cargo module. The datum aircraft includes at least a fuselage having a dorsal fuselage part. The cargo module is affixed to the datum aircraft, thereby converting the datum aircraft to the enhanced cargo capacity aircraft. The datum aircraft is designed for aerodynamic flight capability absent the cargo module. The enhanced cargo capacity aircraft is capable of aerodynamic flight. The cargo module provides enhanced cargo capacity to the datum aircraft. The cargo module includes an external aerodynamic fairing defining an internal cargo volume, and is configured for being conformally affixed in overlying relationship with respect to the dorsal fuselage part.

Abstract: A floor system designed for use with an aircraft is provided. The aircraft comprises a cabin characterized by a first capacity defined by the number of personnel in a predetermined position which may be accommodated therein, and comprises an auxiliary fuel port. The floor system is configured to be detachably installed within the cabin and comprises one or more top panels constituting, when the floor system is installed in the aircraft, a floor of the cabin, and one or more fuel tanks disposed below the top panels and defining an internal space for containing liquid fuel there within. At least one of the fuel tanks is configured for connection to the auxiliary fuel port for supplying the fuel to the aircraft. The cabin with the floor system installed therein is characterized by a second capacity being equal to the first capacity.
