Abstract
Doors sealing radial flow ports are opened by rotation which slides the doors away from the ports. All doors rotate about a longitudinal centerline of the aircraft. Each flow port has its inlet seal surface with a center of curvature offset from the longitudinal axis. Rotation of the door toward the open position relieves and releases contact between the door and the port inlet seal surface.
