本SAE航空航天标准（AS）确立了8 ft x 8 ft（2.44 m x 2.44 m）横截面空气/表面（多式联运）容器规范和测试的基本要求。空气/地面（联运）集装箱的基本要求见第3节至第6节，详细设计要求见附录A。附录B描述了适用于空气/地面集装箱的其他标准章节。附录C描述了试验装置和方法的一致性。本文件的重要补充要求和程序应参考这些附录。AS4041给出了空气模式通用容器的要求。 本文件不包括旋转翼飞机运输集装箱的要求。注:使用关键词“应”确定基本和详细标准推荐的基本和详细标准通过使用关键词“应该”来确定，虽然不是强制性的，但在提供可用、经济和实用的空气/地面容器时被认为是最重要的。

This SAE Aerospace Standard (AS) establishes the basic requirements for the specification and testing of air/surface (intermodal) 8 ft x 8 ft (2.44 m x 2.44 m) cross-section containers. The basic rquirements for the air/surface (intermodal) container are presented in Sections 3 to 6 while the detailed design requirements are in Appendix A. Appendix B describes the sections of other standards that apply to air/surface containers. Appendix C describes uniformity of test apparatus and methods. These appendices shall be referred to for important supplemental requirements and procedures for this document. AS4041 presents the requirements for air mode general purpose containers. Requirements for containers to be transported by rotary-wing aircraft are excluded from this document. NOTE: The essential basic and detail criteria are identified by use of the key word "shall." Recommended basic and detail criteria are identified by use of the key word "should," and while notmandatory, are considered to be of primary importance in providing serviceable, economical, and practical air/surface containers.
