An aircraft exhaust vent assembly for venting an exhaust gas through a
window opening formed in an airplane fuselage. The aircraft exhaust vent
assembly has an enclosure connected to the airplane fuselage and at least
partially disposed within the window opening. An inlet is formed in the
enclosure and connectable to an exhaust gas source for directing the
exhaust gas into the enclosure. An outlet is formed in the enclosure for
venting said exhaust gas to the exterior of the airplane fuselage. An
outlet flap is connected to the enclosure for movement between a first
position and a second position. In the first position, the outlet flap
substantially seals the outlet in the enclosure when the exhaust gas is
not supplied to the enclosure. In the second position, the outlet flap
does not seal the outlet in the enclosure to allow for venting of the
exhaust gas to the exterior of the airplane fuselage.
