Abstract
A floor to fuselage attachment structure incorporates a truss having an upper angled attachment engaging the floor proximate an edge and extending at an angle upward from the floor edge to attach to the fuselage. Additionally, the truss includes a lower angled attachment engaging the floor proximate the edge and extending at an angle downward to attach to the fuselage. The upper and lower angled attachments support the floor with the edge spaced from the fuselage and further have a plurality of apertures for providing airflow between a first volume above the floor and a second volume below the floor.
