<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an aircraft configuration that improves air flow control in the aircraft sidewall volume. <P>SOLUTION: An aircraft fuselage sidewall may include the aircraft sidewall volume and a flow controller. The aircraft sidewall volume may be delineated by an aircraft skin forming an outboard boundary of the aircraft sidewall volume, a passenger cabin sidewall forming an inboard boundary of the aircraft sidewall volume and fuselage frame structures forming axial boundaries of the aircraft sidewall volume. The flow controller may be positioned at a portion of the aircraft sidewall volume to selectably control air flow through the aircraft sidewall volume. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2012,JPO&INPIT |
