Abstract
The present invention is generally directed to an environmental control system (and method of using the same) that is capable of conveying conditioned gases toward at least one target component (e.g., an electrical or propulsion component) of a flight vehicle such as an aircraft, spacecraft, or launch vehicle. The environmental control system of the invention generally includes a low-weight, flexible ducting. The low weight of the ducting may make it possible for the ducting to be installed into the flight vehicle utilizing one or more attachment assemblies that may be adhered to at least one surface of the flight vehicle simply by utilizing an appropriate adhesive rather than more invasive fasteners such as screws, bolts, and the like.
