A ram air channel assembly (10; 50; 70; 90; 110) for an aircraft, comprising: - a first ram air inlet having a protruding portion which protrudes from an outer surface of a section of an aircraft outer skin, wherein the first ram air inlet is coupled to a first ram air inlet channel, - a second ram air inlet having a cross-sectional area arranged flush with the section of the aircraft outer skin, wherein the second ram air inlet is coupled to a second ram air inlet channel and arranged proximate to the first ram air inlet at a predetermined distance from the first ram air inlet upstream of the first ram air inlet, and - a flap which, at least in sections, is pivotable about an axis relative to the section of the aircraft outer skin between a first and a second operating position, wherein the axis is arranged upstream of the first and the second ram air inlet (12, 14) and extends in a direction substantially perpendicular to a direction of flow of an air flow passing the section of the aircraft outer skin, wherein the flap in its first operating position projects into the second ram air inlet channel in order to control the air flow through the second ram air inlet into the second ram air inlet channel, and in its second operating position projects into the air flow passing the section of the aircraft outer skin in order to prevent foreign objects from entering the first and the second ram air inlet (12, 14), characterized in that the first ram air inlet channel is configured to be coupled to a first ambient air consuming system of the aircraft and the second ram air inlet channel is configured to be coupled to a second ambient air consuming system of the aircraft, and wherein the first and the second ram air inlet channel (24, 28) are formed separate from each other such that the first and second air consuming systems can be supplied with ambient air independently from each other without a connection being provided between the first and the second air inlet channel (24, 28). - a first ram air inlet having a protruding portion which protrudes from an outer surface of a section of an aircraft outer skin, wherein the first ram air inlet is coupled to a first ram air inlet channel, - a second ram air inlet having a cross-sectional area arranged flush with the section of the aircraft outer skin, wherein the second ram air inlet is coupled to a second ram air inlet channel and arranged proximate to the first ram air inlet at a predetermined distance from the first ram air inlet upstream of the first ram air inlet, and - a flap which, at least in sections, is pivotable about an axis relative to the section of the aircraft outer skin between a first and a second operating position, wherein the axis is arranged upstream of the first and the second ram air inlet (12, 14) and extends in a direction substantially perpendicular to a direction of flow of an air flow passing the section of the aircraft outer skin, wherein the flap in its first operating position projects into the second ram air inlet channel in order to control the air flow through the second ram air inlet into the second ram air inlet channel, and in its second operating position projects into the air flow passing the section of the aircraft outer skin in order to prevent foreign objects from entering the first and the second ram air inlet (12, 14),
