ABSTRACT:
An aircraft cargo container having sides, inboard and outboard ends, a horizontal top and a horizontal bottom. The bottom is rectangular and provided with casters located in corner recesses. The inboard end and both sides of the container are substantially vertical, while the outboard end substantially conforms to the curvature of the aircraft fuselage cabin cross section. The inboard and outboard ends are so sized that the container will freely pass through a standard left side passenger entry door. The sides are so dimensioned that when two containers are located end-to-end with their inboard ends opposed, they will substantially fill the aircraft fuselage cabin cross section with clearance between themselves and between themselves and the aircraft fuselage, so that a plurality of containers can be arranged within the aircraft in two longitudinal rows, the containers of each row having adjacent sides opposed. Each container has a door in one of its sides. The container bottom provides flanges along the container ends cooperating with side guide rails and a center guide rail assembly mounted in the aircraft. The container bottom also provides flanges along the container sides, engageable by fore and aft restraints.
