Abstract

An air system for pressurizing and air conditioning a cockpit and cabin space of a plane comprises a compressor (3) for compressing an air mass flow, wherein the air mass flow to be compressed is extracted through a ram air duct (13, 14) from the environment of the plane and supplied through a heat exchanger (15, 18) to at least one zone (10A-D) to be pressurized and air conditioned.
