Abstract: An elbow for use in a cabin air supply system for an aircraft has an inlet duct. The inlet duct diverges into two outlet ducts with an interface area between the outlet ducts. Each of the outlet ducts has a nominal wall thickness, with a central portion of the interface having a first thickness at a point of maximum thickness, and the nominal wall thickness being of a second thickness. The central portion of the interface curves to the central portion of the interface area. A ratio of the first thickness to the second thickness is between 3 and 8. A cabin air supply system is also disclosed.

Abstract: A bracket has an axial rear wall to be secured to a housing for a ram air fan and a base floor defined between lateral sidewalls. The base floor has a slot extending for an axial length and for a lateral width, with a ratio of the length to the width being between 1.24 and 1.29. A ran air fan, a system and a method are also disclosed.

Abstract: A compressor motor housing includes an aft region having a radially inner surface defining an inner diameter and a radially outer surface defining an outer diameter. Also included is an O-ring groove extending around at least a portion of the aft region within the radially outer surface, the O-ring groove. The O-ring groove includes a groove width, a groove depth and a groove diameter, wherein a width ratio defined by the groove width in relation to the groove diameter ranges from about 0.0257 to about 0.0272. The O-ring groove also includes an axially forward face, an axially aft face and a circumferential face disposed radially outwardly from the radially inner surface. The compressor motor housing further includes an O-ring seal simultaneously disposed in contact with the axially forward face, the axially aft face and the circumferential face.
