Abstract
The idea of the present invention is that an airfreight container according to the invention, which is designed especially for an unpressurized cargo hold of an aircraft, comprises an airtight and pressure-tight container housing with a container interior space for accommodating airfreight goods. This airfreight container furthermore comprises an internal compressed air generating device which is designed for independently generating compressed air for supplying the container interior space with compressed air. The concept according to the invention of an at least partly autonomous airfreight container, which is created as a result, provides that the airfreight container according to the invention, in addition to the pure bundling of goods, now provides, moreover, different supply systems, such as the device for compressed air generation and compressed air provision, corresponding to the specific requirements. The particular advantage of this solution according to the invention is that cargo aircraft now do not have to provide supply systems, or have to provide at least a significantly reduced number of supply systems, in their cargo hold, and all further functions are now fulfilled by the airfreight container itself when required. The invention also refers to such an aircraft.
