Aeroducts

/ˈɛroʊˌdʌkts/ noun

Definition

Channels or tubes designed to direct and control the flow of air in aircraft or aerodynamic structures.

Etymology

From 'aero-' (air) plus 'ducts' (channels). This engineering term describes the internal passages in aircraft that route air for cooling, pressurization, and aerodynamic effects.

Kelly Says

Modern aircraft are basically sculptures designed around air—aeroducts are the invisible highways inside planes that cool engines, pressurize cabins, and manage airflow with mind-boggling precision!
