Abstract
An air intake assembly for an aircraft includes an auxiliary power unit intake that is defined by a skin of the aircraft. The auxiliary power unit intake is in fluid communication with an auxiliary power unit. The air intake assembly also includes a translatable scoop that defines a stowed condition and a fully deployed condition. The translatable scoop directs air exterior to the aircraft into the auxiliary power unit intake when in the fully deployed condition and does not direct the air exterior to the aircraft into the auxiliary power unit intake when in the stowed condition.
