Abstract
An aft in flight entertainment system “IFE” which allows air to be directed to and exhausted from the IFE equipment in isolation from the cabin conditioned air. Further potential IFE generated smoke may be kept isolated from the cabin air. The aft IFE equipment is located in the rear sections of the aircraft. Valves controlling air flow are responsive to input signals. A fan draws cooling air through a video control cabinet through a duct which splits into an overhead branch and an inboard branch.
