Abstract

A cooling air supply system for an aircraft is configured to supply cooling air from the surroundings of the aircraft to at least two devices requiring cooling air (38, 44, 56) within the aircraft. The cooling air supply system includes an air inlet, an air channel communicating with the air inlet, and an air distribution device for the distribution of air from the air channel to the at least two devices requiring cooling air. The air inlet is sized to provide sufficient air flow to accommodate a maximum cooling air requirement of the at least two devices requiring cooling air.
