Abstract
An air intake arrangement includes a mobile plate controlled by at least one fluid communication passage or opening extending between the outer and inner surfaces of the mobile plate. The fluid communication passage or opening is located at least in the vicinity of a limited downstream area of the outer surface, is at a high pressure when the aircraft flies at cruising speed, and is capable of transmitting the high pressure to an extended area of the inner surface. The air flowing through the air intake arrangement may be used to refresh an enclosed area with electrical or mechanical equipment.
