Hybrid rail for an aircraft floor

A method for manufacturing a rail for an aircraft floor, the rail comprising an upper plate to support a set of floor panels covering the plate, and a lower stiffening structure connected to the upper plate, wherein it is formed by:

• a beam at least formed by a body made of a first material and defining the lower stiffening structure and an upper platform;
• and
• an anticorrosion protection fully covering an upper face of the upper platform, whereby the anticorrosion protection and the upper platform together form the upper plate of the rail, the anticorrosion protection being at least formed by a protective sheet made of a second material that is more corrosion resistant than the first material.
• the method comprising:
• providing the beam, at least formed by the body made of the first material and defining the lower stiffening structure and the upper platform;
• providing the protective sheet made of the second material that is more corrosion resistant than the first material;
• and
• fixing the protective sheet onto the upper platform so that the protective sheet fully covers the upper face of the upper platform.
