Abstract
An outlet tube arrangement for an aircraft nacelle may comprise a vent tube defining a vent tube outlet, the vent tube outlet configured to be flush with an outer surface of the aircraft nacelle, and an inner tube disposed within the vent tube, the inner tube configured to increase momentum of fluid flowing through the inner tube to urge the fluid to separate from the inner tube without wetting the aircraft nacelle upon exiting from the vent tube, wherein the inner tube comprises an inner tube inlet comprising an inlet cross-sectional area and an inner tube outlet comprising an outlet cross-sectional area, the inlet cross-sectional area being less than a cross-sectional area of the vent tube at the inner tube inlet, the inlet cross-sectional area being greater than the outlet cross-sectional area, and the inner tube outlet being flush with the vent tube outlet.
