A portable vapor cycle air conditioning unit for small aircraft includes a single portable module housing an evaporator, a condenser and cooling coils operably connected together. The module is designed to be positioned within a cabin of the small aircraft so that cabin air is drawn into a cabin air inlet in the module, passes over the cooling coils, and is expelled through a cabin air outlet. Air ducts are coupled to the module for conveying fresh air from a window of the small aircraft and waist heat air to a window of the small aircraft. A blower in the module is coupled to direct the fresh air over the condenser and direct the waist heat out through the window. A venturi system in the module is positioned to draw condensate from the evaporator and expel the condensate with the waist heat air.
