A constant airflow control apparatus is connected to an air duct of an air conditioning system to keep the flow rate of air fed from the air duct constant. The apparatus comprises a rectangular pressure receiving plate slidably mounted on a guide shaft extending in one direction inside a passage of a housing. The plate extends substantially at right angles to the central axis of the housing so as to block part of the cross section of the passage. The apparatus further comprises a coil spring for urging the plate against the flow of the air, and two swinging plates swingably attached to two opposite side edges of the pressure receiving plate, individually. The swinging plates are adapted to change the cross-section area of an air passage defined between the swinging plates and the inner surface of the housing in a mode represented by a quadratic curve in accordance with a rectilinear change of the pressure of the air.
