Abstract

The present invention provides a floor structure for a fuselage comprising a plurality of cross beams to which respectively at least one first strut and at least one second strut are associated for connecting the respective cross beam to the fuselage. The at least one first strut is aligned in a corresponding first direction vector and the at least second strut is aligned corresponding to a second direction vector. The projections of the first direction vector and of the second direction vector onto the longitudinal direction of the fuselage are different for absorbing a force acting in the longitudinal direction of the fuselage on the floor structure, through the first and second struts.
