A duct or tube designed to conduct or direct air, especially in aircraft ventilation or cooling systems.
From 'aero-' (air) combined with 'duct' (from Latin ducere, to lead or conduct). A technical term used in aeronautical and mechanical engineering.
Modern aircraft use thousands of tiny aeroducts to manage airflow—these aren't random tubes but precisely engineered channels that cool engines, pressurize cabins, and manage heat, making them one of the hidden marvels of flight technology.
