Abstract

See full text

A cooling system for an aircraft has at least one moveable member configured to cover an opening formed within an aircraft outer skin. An actuator moves the at least one moveable member between a fully open position where external atmosphere air can be directed through the opening to an internal passage enclosed by the aircraft outer skin and a fully closed position where the opening is covered. A controller selectively controls the actuator to move the at least one moveable member between the fully open and fully closed positions. An aircraft engine and a method of cooling an aircraft engine in an aircraft are also disclosed.
