Abstract
A conduit that includes a first segment forming a first sidewall of the conduit and a second segment forming a second sidewall of the conduit. The first segment may include a first inner surface and a first outer surface and the second segment may include a second inner surface and a second outer surface. The first segment may be coupled to the second segment such that the first inner surface and the second inner surface jointly form an inner conduit surface and the first outer surface and the first inner surface jointly form at least a portion of an outer conduit surface, wherein the outer conduit surface has an airfoil geometry. The first segment and the second segment may be detachably coupled together.
