Abstract
A system for directing air flow to separate plena of a compartment that is defined at least by a compartment wall includes a NACA scoop, and a Pitot scoop. The NACA scoop is formed in the compartment wall, and includes two side walls, a bottom wall, and an entrance lip that is defined by the compartment wall and is spaced apart from the bottom wall to form a NACA scoop air inlet. The Pitot scoop is longitudinally aligned with the NACA scoop, includes a Pitot scoop air inlet, a Pitot scoop air outlet, and a Pitot scoop flow passage.
