The invention relates to a rack intended to equip an aeronautical platform (10) comprising two parallel shelves (11, 12) positioned between a front face (13) and a rear face (14) of the platform (10), the rack (15) being intended to be inserted into the platform (10) by translation (16) from the front face (13) to the rear face (14), the rack (15) containing at least one electronic equipment item (18) extending primarily in a plane, the electronic equipment item (18) being positioned in a useful compartment (17) of the rack (15), the electronic equipment item (18) being cooled by forced convection. According to the invention, the electronic equipment item (18) is positioned in the useful compartment (15) in such a way that its main plane is parallel to the shelves (11, 12). The electronic equipment item (18) can be plugged into the rack (15) in the same direction as the direction (16) of insertion of the rack (15) into the platform (10). The rack (15) comprises means (22, 38) for guiding an air flow used for the cooling of the electronic equipment item (18), the air flow penetrating into the useful compartment (17) parallel to the plane of the electronic equipment item (18) and at right angles to the direction (16) of insertion of the rack (15) into the platform (10).
