  • Flush inlet scoop design for aircraft bleed air system
    Patent number: 8024935
    Abstract: A bleed air duct that preferably includes an inlet section configured to include a flush scoop and a louver. The louver is located and configured such that in the desired operating flow range of the duct, the fluid entering the flush scoop is disturbed and as a result creates a low pressure region downstream of the louver. The low pressure region substantially eliminates the generation of any pressure pulses and acoustic resonance also known as Helmholtz resonance.
    Type: Grant

    Date of Patent: September 27, 2011
    Assignee: Honeywell International Inc.
