Abstract: A device for separating moisture from a gas flow which is vented from an interior region of an aircraft to a region exterior to the aircraft. In a preferred embodiment, a vessel having an inlet port coupled to the interior region of the aircraft, an outlet port coupled to the region exterior to the aircraft, and at least one baffle member positioned between the inlet port and the outlet port. The baffle member extends away from a wall of the vessel, at least partially transverse to a flow of gas passing through the vessel from the inlet port to the outlet port. The flow passes adjacent to the at least one baffle member such that a surface of the baffle member collects moisture thereon. The moisture is returned, via a canted vessel surface, through the inlet port of the vessel and to the interior region of the aircraft.

Abstract: In an aircraft having a pressure window mounted in the hull, an interior window assembly is removably mounted in an interior wall spaced from the hull. The interior window assembly is in register with the pressure window to enable occupants of the aircraft to view the outside. The interior wall has an opening formed therein to accept the interior window assembly and the portions of the wall surrounding the opening are biased toward the interior of the aircraft. The interior window assembly includes a windowpane mounted in a frame. The frame includes a flange that overlies the inboard surface of the portions of the wall surrounding the opening, and the bias of the wall portions is exerted on the flange. A constraint means is affixed to the hull of the aircraft and releasably engages the frame to constrain the frame from inboard movement. The bias force of the wall portions and the constraint means cooperate to hold the window in place.
