    Abstract: An aircraft tailcone comprising a tailcone fuselage, a turbomachine, for example an APU, housed inside the tailcone, a ram air intake on the tailcone fuselage for the ingestion of ram air towards the interior of the turbomachine compartment, an inlet flap operable reciprocately from an open position in which ingestion of ram air is allowed, and a closed position in which ram air ingestion is prevented. The ram air intake extends annularly along a perimeter of the tailcone fuselage, and the inlet flap is configured such in its closed position that a surface of the inlet flap is substantially flush with the tailcone fuselage.
