The invention relates to multi deck passenger aircraft, having passenger cabins and/or service facilities arranged on the upper and lower deck and inner load bearing cell structure provided within aircraft body. The present invention is also directed toward methods for manufacturing derivative multi deck aircrafts. Energy absorbing, floatable cargo containers (24) attached to fuselage belly. External fuel tanks (26) displaced on the top of fuselage. Center wing region of the fuselage is using for arranging rows of seats and service facilities. Addition seating configuration for narrow and wide bodied aircraft is provided. Multi deck seating configuration significantly reduces per passenger operating cost over existing technology. Less fuel per passenger is required since there is less airframe weight and wetted area per passenger. Due to the lower overall cost per passenger seat within the multi deck seating structure, the net profit and return on investment in the aircraft are also increased.
An aircraft for transporting passengers and cargo having a fuselage, a wing, a landing gear and other conventional assemblies, said fuselage has an airframe shell structure and includes at least one cabin for accommodating passengers, said at least one cabin has at least one aisle having sufficient standing height, wherein the fuselage has an inner load-bearing cell structure connected to the fuselage airframe shell to enable the fuselage to withstand operational stresses and an internal pressurization, said inner load-bearing cell structure compounds at least one passenger compartment with rows of seats in said at least one passenger cabin, a pitch of the struts, beams, angle braces and load-bearing walls, composing said inner cell structure, is determined with respect to spacing of rows of seats and/or beds so as to ensure that the load-bearing cell structure is located between adjacent seats and/or beds to ensure maximum freedom of movement between the rows.

An aircraft for transporting passengers and cargo has at least one external, watertight cargo container and/or fuel tank, attached closely to an aircraft fuselage and/or placed in a cavities of forward and aft regions of the aircraft fuselage, said at least cargo container and/or fuel tank has a streamlined outer contour, wherein a curvilinear outer boundary of said cargo container and/or fuel tank extends from the fuselage outer, tubular contour in front and rear fuselage regions, to provide reduced cross-section area at the wing-fuselage intersection region to receive area-ruling drag reduction effect.
