Abstract

An aircraft comprises a cargo compartment having a cargo-compartment floor, and at least one functional unit, such as a water tank, a waste-water tank, or an electrical equipment rack. The functional unit is disposed on a pallet so that the functional unit can be transported into, and installed in, the cargo compartment. A fixation device attaches the pallet to the cargo-compartment floor.
