  • Ram Air Duct Flap Arrangement And Ram Air Duct
    Publication number: 20110073716
    Abstract: A ram air duct flap arrangement (22) comprises at least one ram air duct flap (24, 26) which is designed to close, in a closed position, a ram air inlet (14) or a ram air outlet (18) of a ram air duct (10) and, at least partly open, in an open position, the ram air inlet (14) or the ram air outlet (18) of the ram air duct (10). Furthermore, the ram air duct flap arrangement (22) comprises an actuator (32) for actuating the ram air duct flap (24, 26) between its closed position and its open position. A pressure control device (42) is designed to control a pressure (pi), which, when the ram air duct flap arrangement (22) is mounted in an aircraft, acts on an inner surface (44) of the ram air duct flap (24, 26) facing an interior of the aircraft, in such a way that it corresponds substantially to a pressure (pa) which, when the ram air duct flap arrangement (22) is mounted in an aircraft, acts on an outer surface (38) of the ram air duct flap (24, 26) facing the external environment.
