Abstract
A system for an aircraft includes a vane and an air system. The air system includes a first air circuit and a first door assembly. The first air circuit extends in the vane to a first circuit outlet at a first side of the vane. The first door assembly is arranged at the first circuit outlet. The air system is configured to exhaust a flow of air out of the first air circuit through the first circuit outlet during a first mode and a second mode. The first door assembly is configured to direct the flow of air exhausted from the first circuit outlet longitudinally towards a leading edge of the vane during the first mode. The first door assembly is configured to direct the flow of air exhausted from the first circuit outlet longitudinally towards a trailing edge of the vane during the second mode.
