Abstract
An aircraft including a floor positioned above a central wing box and in a front fuselage portion positioned in front of the central wing box. The floor includes at least one rail which has at least first and second rail portions and at least one articulation connecting the first and second rail portions and configured to allow a pivoting movement, about a transverse and horizontal pivot pin, between the connected first and second rail portions. By virtue of this articulation, it is possible to integrate the rails into the floor and not to position them on the floor.
