Abstract
Aircraft, air conditioning systems, and air diffusers that may be used to create a quiet, comfortable environment within an aircraft cabin are disclosed. For example, an aircraft cabin air diffuser, which may be used in an air conditioning system and/or an aircraft, may include an inlet section, a neck section downstream of the inlet section, an outlet section downstream of the neck section, and a flow controller within the neck section. The flow controller may be a passive pressure controller (configured to affect air flow through the passive pressure controller in response to an air pressure differential across the passive pressure controller) and/or a vortex inducer (configured to create a vortex of air downstream of the vortex inducer).
