Acoustically optimized air conditioning components

An air conditioning conduit with a sound-damping effect for an aircraft, comprising:

• a sound-damping wall that at least partially encloses a substantially continuous hollow space for guiding the air, the continuous hollow space including an air inlet opening and an air outlet opening, and the continuous hollow space for the conveyance of air directly adjoins the wall, the wall having a multilayer design including:
• a core layer including a sound-absorbing open-pore core material so that the wall shows an acoustic effect;
• and
• at least one first cover layer designed so as to be airtight and arranged on the external surface of the core layer, and laminarily connected to the core layer;
• wherein the laminar connection between the core layer and the at least one first cover layer causes a composite effect in such a manner that the wall is self-supporting and has a structural function in order to be able to transfer mechanically-occurring loads to structural parts of the aircraft so that the wall also provides a load-bearing effect.
