    Abstract: An aircraft incorporating a cabin air recovery system in which the aircraft comprises a pressurizable cabin, main turbofan engines, each turbofan engine having fan blades, a gas turbine coupled with the fan blades and a by-pass duct bypassing the gas turbine. The cabin fluidly communicates with the by-pass duct downstream of the fan blades so that, during operation, cabin outflow air is discharged into the by-pass duct downstream of the fan blades. By re-utilizing excess cabin air, engine thrust and efficiency is improved, and fuel consumption is reduced.
