Claims (7)

1. An aircraft cabin wall comprising an outer skin and a sidewall panel, wherein between the outer skin and the sidewall panel a defined air gap is provided for a controlled through-conveyance of aircraft cabin air; wherein on the inside of the outer skin a layer of primary insulation is provided; wherein on a side of the sidewall panel which side faces the outer skin a layer of secondary insulation is provided; and wherein the defined gap is formed between the primary insulation and the secondary insulation; and

wherein a ventilation device is provided for an active ventilation of the aircraft cabin through the gap.

2. The aircraft cabin wall of claim 1 , wherein the gap comprises a width (b) that is essentially uniform.

3. An aircraft comprising an aircraft cabin wall of claim 1 .

4. The aircraft cabin wall of claim 1 , wherein the defined gap comprises a drainage device for draining condensation water that forms in the gap and/or on the secondary insulation and/or on the primary insulation.

5. The aircraft cabin wall of claim 4 , wherein a collection device for a collection of condensation water is provided, wherein the collection device is optionally connectable to an air conditioning system of the aircraft, for re-supplying the condensation water to the cabin interior air.
