  • Window airflow damper
    Patent number: 7267302
    Abstract: A device that alters the breather hole configuration currently being employed in aircraft window assemblies. The device provides a means to allow slow moving air to pass and breathe through the breather hole, while stopping or significantly blocking non-steady air pulses from passing through. The device uses a combination of the cross-section and length of the air path that determines the effectiveness of the particular device to dampen out any unsteady airflow pulses.
