A ventilation nozzle assembly is described that includes a first air outlet channel configured to provide an air flow in a first direction, a second air outlet channel adjacent the first air outlet channel configured to provide an air flow in a second direction, a third air outlet channel adjacent the second air outlet channel and configured to provide an air flow in a third direction, and a fourth air outlet channel adjacent the third air outlet channel and configured to provide an air flow in a fourth directions. An air flow from the third air outlet channel is configured reduce an impact of the air flow from the fourth air outlet channel has on the air flows from the first air outlet channel and the second air outlet channel.

Alternate directional momentum ventilation nozzle for passenger cabins

An elongated nozzle for distributing airflow in varying directions may include at least one set of channels. Each set may include a plurality of groups of channels. Each set may further include spaced-apart opposed dividers extending lengthwise along an elongated length of the nozzle, and spaced-apart channel side-walls extending between the spaced-apart opposed dividers. The opposed dividers and the spaced-apart channel side-walls may form the channels of each set. At least one of the spaced-apart opposed dividers of each set may be oriented at a first angle which is non-parallel to an imaginary vertical plane extending along the elongated length of the nozzle. Within each set, the spaced-apart channel side-walls of each group of channels may be oriented at different second angles, relative to an imaginary vertical plane extending along a width of the nozzle, than the spaced-apart channel side-walls of other groups of channels.

Diversion directional nozzle

A system and a method is provided for fitting an aircraft cabin with modular sidewall panels, window reveals, and foam insulation blocks in an integrated manner. The system comprises a sidewall panel which may have one or more openings therethrough to receive a window reveal held by snap-fit fastenings. The bezel of the window reveal may be held by snap-fit fasteners for easy removal to allow removal and cleaning of the inner dust cover disassembly of the sidewall panel. Foam insulation blocks may be molded to fit in the cavity between the outer wall of the aircraft and the sidewall panels, held in place by compressive pressure between the frames of the airframe. The outer extent of the window reveal is tapered inwardly to guide the window reveal to mating contact with an outer window assembly in the aircraft fuselage without further adjustment of the sidewall panel.
