Abstract
According to an exemplary embodiment of the invention, a combined habitation module for the crew of an aircraft is provided, which habitation module comprises two monument units that are separated from each other by a gap such that acoustic decoupling of the two monument units from each other is provided. In this way noise propagation within the habitation module may be prevented to a large extent.
