Abstract: An aircraft including a fuselage having a side wall at least partially defining a passenger cabin and a crown section of the aircraft. The passenger cabin includes an overhead zone, a passenger zone, and a floor zone. An air supply duct is positioned within the crown section, and the air supply duct is configured to pressurize the crown section with air. At least one return air outlet is defined in the floor zone. An interior structure is coupled to the side wall and extends between the passenger cabin and the crown section. The interior structure includes a plurality of nozzles oriented to discharge the pressurized air from the crown section along an airflow path that extends downward through the overhead zone, downward through the passenger zone, and then towards the at least one return air outlet.

Abstract: A system includes an outflow vent that has a cap releasably mounted to a panel within an internal cabin of a vehicle. The cap is elongated from a first end of the cap to a second end of the cap opposite the first end. The cap has a base wall that is overlaid on the panel and defines at least one slot therethrough. The cap receives an airflow generated by an airflow generator, and the at least one slot emits the airflow from the cap to form an air curtain within the internal cabin.

Abstract: A sleeve that connects together a first duct and a second duct. The sleeve has a body with a cylindrical shape with open first and second ends. A first groove is spaced inward along the longitudinal axis from the first end and is configured to receive an end of the first duct. A first sleeve section of the body extends along the longitudinal axis between the first end and the first groove. A second groove is spaced inward along the longitudinal axis from the second end and is configured to receive an end of the second duct. A second sleeve section of the body extends along the longitudinal axis between the second end and the second groove. A central section is positioned between and spacing apart along the longitudinal axis the first groove and the second groove.

Abstract: An additive manufacturing system is disclosed and includes a first heating element configured to receive a first supply of thermoplastic material and a second heating element configured to receive a second supply of plastic material. A foaming agent is incorporated into the second supply of plastic material and is configured to expand at an activation temperature. The additive manufacturing system also includes a control module in electronic communication with both the first heating element and the second heating element. The control module executes instructions to instruct the first heating element to heat the first supply of thermoplastic material to a first extrusion temperature and instruct the second heating element to heat the second supply of plastic material to a second extrusion temperature. The second extrusion temperature is equal to or greater than the activation temperature of the foaming agent.

Abstract: Duct segments that define a channel for conveying a fluid, where the duct wall includes a sheath of reinforcing fabric incorporating multiple reinforcing fibers, and a thermoplastic fused with the sheath of reinforcing fabric. The duct segments may be prepared by wrapping a mandrel configured to define the inner mold line of a desired duct segment with a thermoplastic film, enveloping the wrapped mandrel with a reinforcing sheath incorporating reinforcing fibers; wrapping the enveloped mandrel with another thermoplastic film to form a multilayer duct segment precursor; enclosing the mandrel and multilayer duct segment precursor within an outer mold defining the outer mold line for the desired duct segment; heating the duct segment precursor at a temperature and for a time sufficient to fuse the layers of the multilayer duct segment precursor; and then cooling the resulting duct segment.
