Abstract
A number of integrated floor structures made of lightweight composite materials for use in an aircraft are disclosed. Generally, each of such floors includes a top-layer skin, a bottom-layer skin disposed below the top-layer skin and a first structural core disposed between the top-layer skin and the bottom-layer skin, the first structural core being composed of a honeycomb composite material. One or more denser structural cores can also be incorporated at strategic locations.
