Abstract
An aircraft fuselage sidewall may include an aircraft sidewall volume and a flow controller. The aircraft sidewall volume may be delineated by an aircraft skin forming an outboard boundary of the aircraft sidewall volume, a passenger cabin sidewall forming an inboard boundary of the aircraft sidewall volume and fuselage frame structures forming axial boundaries of the aircraft sidewall volume. The flow controller may be positioned at a portion of the aircraft sidewall volume to selectably control air flow through the aircraft sidewall volume.
