Abstract
A flow management system for delivering air to a heat load of an aircraft includes a cover having an opening for receiving and directing an airflow, and a duct defining a non-linear fluid flow path. The fluid flow path operably couples the opening and the heat load. A configuration of the fluid flow path reduces a velocity of the airflow therein while minimizing a pressure drop of the airflow.
