S-76D
________________________________________
Can anyone confirm what the NACA ducts on the doors of the S-76D are for?

Fresh Air for the Pax? Must be surely?
Correct.

The NACA duct air scoops on the S-76 cockpit and cabin doors are a baseline build standard. However, if the final delivery configuration is a VIP interior option with air conditioning, then the cabin NACA duct air scoops are removed, as the cabin air flow delivery system is redesigned to cater for a more demanding clientele not looking for ram air only cooling .
