5. The freight loading system according to claim 1 , wherein the control unit is designed to detect a dimension of a base surface of the freight item and process this to determine at least one of: a position of the freight item and the relative movement of the part of the freight item.

6. The freight loading system according to claim 1 , wherein the sensors comprise light sensors arranged on the cargo deck and designed such that they detect at least the presence of a freight item.

7. The freight loading system according to claim 1 , wherein at least one of either the sensors and multiplicity of freight transport devices, are arranged in a matrix spanning the width of the cargo deck.

8. The freight loading system according to claim 1 , wherein at least some of the freight transport devices each comprise at least one sensor which is arranged static relative to the cargo deck.

9. The freight loading system according to claim 1 , wherein the sensors of a respective freight transport device are arranged surrounding the at least one roller.

10. The freight loading system according to claim 1 , wherein the signals give a binary coverage pattern.

11. The freight loading system according to claim 1 , wherein the first freight transport device comprises at least one rotary table arranged in a frame rotatable about the vertical axis and which accommodates at least one roller in order to set the roller to transport the freight item in a pre-specified transport direction.

12. The freight loading system according to claim 1 , further comprising a read device, to detect at least one of either: the freight item type and at least one dimension of the freight item.

13. The freight loading system according to claim 1 , wherein the control unit comprises a model generator to produce: at least one of a two-dimensional, and three-dimensional, model of the freight item, and at least part of the hold of the aircraft.

14. The freight loading system according to claim 1 , wherein the control unit comprises a memory device configured to store position data in a temporal sequence indicating the position of the freight item on the cargo deck, wherein the control unit is designed to determine the movement of the freight item from the determined actual position and the stored position data from the position memory device.

15. The freight loading system according to claim 1 , wherein the control unit is designed to determine a nominal position and an actual position of the freight item and control at least one freight transport device such that the freight item is transported out of the actual position into the nominal position.

16. The freight loading system according to claim 1 , wherein the control unit is designed to determine from the actual position and nominal position a nominal transport direction (s) for at least one freight transport device.

17. The freight loading system according to claim 1 , wherein the control unit is designed to determine, taking into account the relative movement, an optimum transport direction for at least one freight transport device wherein when assuming the optimum transport direction the axis of the roller of the respective freight transport device runs substantially perpendicular to the relative movement of the freight item lying on the roller.

18. The freight loading system according to claim 1 , wherein the control unit is designed to calculate a set transport direction from the optimum transport direction and the nominal transport direction(s), and align the at least one freight transport device according to the optimum transport direction.

19.
