Description / Abstract:
This SAE Aerospace Standard (AS) establishes the basic
requirements for the design, construction and testing of air mode
2.44 m X 2.44 m (8 ft X 8 ft) cross-section containers.
These containers are to be used exclusively in conjunction with
the air mode in freighter versions of wide-body commercial
transport aircraft. Air mode containers will normally be on
aircraft roller conveying systems and/or on similarly equipped
ancillary ground handling devices. Similar requirements for
air/surface (intermodal) containers are provided in AS832.
