Abstract

A ventilation system for ventilating a passenger compartment of an aircraft, an aircraft, and a method of operating the ventilation system are disclosed herein. The ventilation system includes, but is not limited to, a bezel, a fluid vent, an electronic sensor, and a valve. The bezel defines a bezel aperture and the fluid vent defines an axis that passes through the bezel aperture to direct a stream of air through the bezel into the passenger compartment. The electronic sensor is associated with the bezel and is configured to generate a bezel position signal. The valve is configured to vary a flow rate of the stream of air through the fluid vent based on the bezel position signal.
