- Abstract
Passenger-to-freighter conversion is the prevailing disposal method for numerous older civil aircraft currently in service after completing their passenger transport missions. It significantly enhances the economic benefits throughout the aircraft's life-cycle, saving costs for airlines and generating profits for logistics companies. The lining of the main cargo compartment, as an essential component in the passenger-to-freighter conversion process, plays a crucial role. It provides interfaces for a wide range of existing and newly added cargo equipment while also serving to protect the aircraft structure and accommodate cargo in the main cargo compartment. Additionally, it must meet requirements related to fire resistance, sealing, decompression, and structural strength. Moreover, as an exterior component, it must also be aesthetically pleasing, practical, and easy to maintain. This article primarily explores the composition of the main cargo compartment lining in freighter aircraft, the arrangement of relevant equipment within the lining, and their respective design requirements and guidelines.
