System and method for restraining cargo

Abstract:

An aircraft cargo restraint system includes an attenuator member fixed at two first attachment locations within a cargo storage compartment of a fuselage of an aircraft. The cargo restraint system also includes a cargo restraint configured to be coupled to the attenuator member at a second attachment location of the attenuator member, located between the two first attachment locations. The cargo restraint is configured to restrain cargo loaded on a cargo deck of the cargo storage compartment. The attenuator member is configured to deflect in response to a load applied to the attenuator member by the cargo restraint.
