ABSTRACT:
An air cargo container (1) for use as an integral part of the aircraft. It is adaptable to any of numerous options while maintaining basic structural and functional concepts. Fundamentally, it comprises a floor (7) enclosed by a body (2) having an opening (12) in one wall that, except for modest top and side edges, enables substantially full access for loading and unloading. A rigid, removable door panel (8) with a structural flange (17) directly engages with a structural channel (13) or similar surface to create a watertight seal around the opening (12) and the door panel (8) is tightened to the floor (7) by a stationary tie-down means (18,19). The door panel (8) overlaps the edges (9) of the body (2) that surround the opening (12), providing a superior seal and protective barrier to environmental elements and pilferage, and superior structural strength. The door panel (8) distributes evenly around the edges (9) any weight stresses against the door panel (8).
