In a method for emergency ventilation of an aircraft cabin, a leak is detected in the area of an air mixer of an aircraft air conditioning system. An emergency air flap, which in a closed position prevents an air exchange between an aircraft area adjacent to the air mixer and the aircraft cabin, is controlled into an open position. Air from the aircraft area adjacent to the air mixer is conveyed through the open emergency air flap into the aircraft cabin.

A cooling system for an aircraft includes an air inlet through which air from the environment of the aircraft enters a ram air channel, and an air outlet through which air emerges from the ram air channel. A heat exchanger is arranged in the ram air channel. A ventilation device is in fluid communication with the ram air channel. Also connected to the ram air channel is a distribution line to cool at least one heat-loaded component of the aircraft, in particular a cabin air conditioning system, and/or to ventilate an installation space of the at least one heat-loaded component.

An air guiding flap of an aircraft wherein one surface thereof faces an air duct and is exposed to a prevailing pressure in the air duct and whose opposite surface is exposed to the pressure of the relative wind flowing past the aircraft. The air guiding flap comprises an actuator for automatically opening and closing the air guiding flap which actuator cooperates with a device for controlling the position of the air guiding flap. In order to keep the stress on the air guiding flap low a force detecting device is provided which detects the force impinging on the actuator base don a difference between the prevailing pressure in the air duct and the pressure of the relative wind flowing past the aircraft. The controlling device adjusts the position of the air guiding flap such that the force impinging on the actuator at any one time is at least essentially zero.
