The fuselage of an aircraft comprises a floor structure, a roof structure, a first lateral side structure, a second lateral side structure, and a middle structure. The floor structure, the roof structure, the first lateral side structure, and the second lateral side structure define a fuselage space between them. The middle structure spans at least part way between the floor structure and the roof structure, and runs between the first lateral side structure and the second lateral side structure such that the middle structure partitions the fuselage space into an occupant space and a cargo space. A seat for a pilot is disposed in the occupant space lateral to a portion of the middle structure and a portion of the cargo space.
