CONFORMAL ACTUATOR OPERATED AIRCRAFT CARGO RESTRAINT MECHANISM

A cargo system (100, 520) is provided. The cargo system may comprise a floor panel (112), a cargo sled configured to move across the floor panel (112), and a cargo restraint (200, 202, 500, 722) configured to translate relative to the floor panel (112). The cargo restraint may comprise a longitudinal restraint rod (302, 503) configured to protrude from the floor panel (112) in a deployed position. The cargo restraint may also comprise a restraint surface (300A, 501) disposed on the longitudinal restraint rod. The cargo restraint may enable the cargo sled to pass over the restraint surface in a stowed position. An electromechanical actuator (702) may be mechanically coupled to the longitudinal restraint rod and configured to deploy and stow the cargo restraint.
