AIRCRAFT COMPRISING AN AIR INTAKE

The present invention belongs to the field of air intakes for aircraft onboard equipment or areas inside the aircraft and relates to an air intake comprising a barrier filter for filtering an incoming airflow and allowing cleaning such barrier filter. The present invention provides an aircraft comprising an air intake, the air intake comprising an air duct arranged inside the aircraft, an inlet in one end of the air duct, a flap door and driving means, wherein the air intake is suitable for providing airflow through the air duct to the inside of the aircraft, wherein the flap door is hinged in at least a first end to the inlet, the driving means are configured for moving the flap door between at least two positions, wherein said positions are: a closed position wherein the flap door closes the inlet, and an opened position wherein the flap door is opened form an angle with respect to the closed position of the flap door, wherein the angle is different from 0, and wherein the flap door comprises a barrier filter configured to filter an incoming airflow into the air duct, and wherein the driving means are configured for moving the flap door from the closed position to the opened position by pivoting the flap door around the first end towards outside the aircraft and towards the rear part of the aircraft. The flap door is double hinged in the first end and in a second end to the inlet, and the driving means are configured for moving the flap door from the closed position to a fallback position by pivoting the flap door around the second end towards inside the air duct and towards the front part of the aircraft.
