    Abstract: A system for moving loads comprising a cargo compartment floor, at least one roller track comprising rollers arranged one behind the other in the cargo compartment floor, at least one guideway in the floor and extending parallel to the at least one track, and at least one transport vehicle removably accommodated in and movable along the guideway. The transport vehicle comprises at least one connecting element movable between first and second operating positions. In the first operating position, the connecting element is configured so the transport vehicle is positionable beneath a load on the roller track, and in the second operating position, the connecting element is configured to interact with the load to connect the load to the transport vehicle, so the load is entrained when the transport vehicle moves along the guideway. The transport vehicle further comprises a drive mechanism to move the transport vehicle along the guideway.

    Abstract: A fillable stowage container for placement in a cargo hold area of an aircraft is provided. The stowage container comprises a housing structure, a first stowage segment accommodated in the housing structure, and an access opening for manually loading and unloading of the first stowage segment. The housing structure comprises an outer contour, which is configured to place the stowage container in a cargo area of an aircraft. The housing structure is accessible via the access opening from a cabin area above the cargo area, in which the stowage container can be placed. A second stowage segment is arranged within the housing structure and an access opening is provided for manual loading and unloading of the second stowage segment. Further, the first or the second stowage segment is designed as a waste container for placement of trash and the other stowage segment is designed as stowage compartment.
