An aircraft fuselage includes at least one space arranged in the aircraft fuselage and at least one wall. The wall resists burnthrough for a period of at least four minutes from outside the aircraft fuselage towards the space, wherein the region of the aircraft fuselage underneath the space does not include burnthrough-resistant insulation. The space may be a cargo compartment of the aircraft or a passenger cabin, while the wall may be designed as a cargo compartment floor, passenger cabin floor or wing/fuselage fairing (belly fairing). The design of the aircraft fuselage results in burnthrough resistance that meets the requirements of FAR §25.856 (b) without any additional burnthrough-resistant insulation in the aircraft fuselage.
