Abstract

An air guiding element for an aircraft air-conditioning system includes a distributing pipe having an air inlet opening arranged in the region of an end face of the distributing pipe and an air discharge opening arranged in the region of a generated surface of the distributing pipe. The air guiding element further comprises a flow diverting element having a first section connected to the air discharge opening of the distributing pipe and a second section arranged downstream of the first section relative to the direction of the air flow through the air guiding element. The second section is configured to deflect the air as it flows through the second section at an angle of approximately 45 to 135° relative to the direction of the air flow through the first section, and a diffuser which is arranged downstream of the second section.
