Abstract
A convertible air cargo container which may be used in the air freight industry. A slidable top cover allows the user to convert a standard cube shaped cargo container, for example, in an M1 configuration, to an AQ7 configuration. Secured to the slidable top cover by a hinge is at least one contoured flap which rotates to alter the upper shape of the cargo container for use in other types of aircraft or other cargo carrier. A piston and spring lock secures the top cover and contoured flaps into the desired position.
