Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	An aircraft (10, 10") has an aft main cargo cabin (50) with a low deck floor (52), and a rear access (60) configured to provide access to the aft main cargo cabin from behind the fuselage (20). The deck floor of the aft main cargo cabin is lower than a first deck floor (32) of a forward main cabin (30) of a forward section of the fuselage. The aft main cargo cabin has a second height (H2) that is greater than the first height (H1) of the forward main cabin, allowing the aft main cargo cabin to accommodate oversize cargo with larger dimension(s). The aircraft may be built with such an aft main cargo cabin and rear access, or may be a modified aircraft that includes such an aft main cargo cabin and rear access. Related methods of reconfiguring a base aircraft into a modified aircraft having such an aft main cargo cabin and rear access are also disclosed.
