A fuselage structure for a rotorcraft (1), the structure comprising load-bearing members including middle frames (9a, 9b) carrying a top floor (12a) and a middle floor (12b). The middle floor (12b) internally partitions the fuselage into two compartments (6, 7), including a cabin-forming top compartment (6) and a bottom compartment (7) having an open bottom (23) leading to the outside via the bottom face of the fuselage. The middle floor (12b) provides a loading plane in the top compartment (6) having a false-floor (27) made up of interchangeable slabs (28) fitted out in a variety of ways. The middle floor (12b) also forms an anchor member from which equipment (16, 17) for suspending can be suspended, which equipment is accessible from outside the fuselage through said open bottom (23).
