Claim:
An aircraft air distribution system comprising: a base section having a first side and a second side; a first array of nozzle air transfer ports formed in the base section; a second array of nozzle air transfer ports formed in the base section; an adjustable flow plate, the adjustable flow plate is positioned over the first array of nozzle air transfer ports and the second array of air transfer ports; a compressible member located between base section and the adjustable flow plate and between the first array of nozzle air transfer ports and the second array of nozzle air transfer ports; a first air ejector region located on a first side of the compressible member between the base section and the adjustable flow plate, wherein the first air ejector region connects to the first array of nozzle air transfer ports and directs air from the first array of air nozzle transfer ports in a first direction from a first side of the base section; a second air ejector region located on a second side of the compressible member between the base section and the adjustable flow plate, wherein the second air ejector region connects to the second array of nozzle air transfer ports and directs air from the second array of air nozzle transfer ports in a second direction from a second side of the base section; the adjustable flow plate configured with respect to the base section such that airflow through the first air ejector region is greater than airflow through the second air ejector region; and a plurality of fasteners, wherein the plurality of fasteners moveably connect the adjustable flow plate to the base section, wherein plurality of fasteners are adjustable to change a size of different sections of the first air ejector region and to change a size of different sections of the second air ejector region to change an amount of airflow originating from the different sections of the first air ejector region and from the different sections of the second air ejector region.
