Demountable comfort modules for passenger aircraft

A system for providing sleeping accommodations within the cargo compartment of a passenger aircraft, the system comprising:

• a set of four housing modules, each having substantially the outer configuration of a standard cargo container, and each including two at least partially open adjoining sides, the open sides on the different modules being positioned such that the modules nest together at the four corners of a common vertical axis, to form an enclosed substantially rectangular volume having an upper wall;
• sleeping surface means disposed in the different modules, the sleeping surface means in at least one of the modules protruding from the open side into the space provided by the adjacent module when the modules are nested together, the open spaces between the ends of the modules being configured to provide aisle space along the interior of the enclosed structure;
• at least one of the modules including a restroom housing coupled thereto and protruding outwardly therefrom into the space provided through the open wall of the adjacent module;
• power distribution means disposed within each of the modules and including power interconnection means for intercoupling the different modules;
• terminal connector means connected to the power distribution means and including interiorly accessible port means in a wall of the nested modules for coupling to an external power supply;
• environment control means disposed in at least one of the nested modules and coupled to the power distribution system for providing habitable temperature and humidity levels;
• means coupled to the upper wall of the nested modules for accessing into the interior volume of the nested modules, and
• environment responsive noise cancellation means disposed in the nested modules and coupled to the power distribution means.
