The airflow pattern and spreading of fresh air into the cabin space mainly depend on the type of the air distribution system and location of heat sources/sinks. The present study deals with the investigation of the dependency between the type of the air distribution system and indoor air quality in a cabin of a small transport aircraft. The mock-up interior geometry of a small aircraft cabin for nine passengers was adopted for the investigation. Three types of the air distribution system were investigated: a typical mixing ventilation system, a modified mixing ventilation system and an under-aisle displacement ventilation system. The quality of ventilation was assessed based on the local mean age of air using CFD software Star-CCM+. At first, the CFD model of a typical mixing ventilation was validated against the experimental data of airflow in the mock-"@en . "P(ED0002/01/01), P(EE2.3.30.0005)" .
