An aircraft exhaust vent assembly for venting an exhaust gas through a window opening formed in an airplane fuselage. The aircraft exhaust vent assembly has an enclosure connected to the airplane fuselage and at least partially disposed within the window opening. An inlet is formed in the enclosure and connectable to an exhaust gas source for directing the exhaust gas into the enclosure. An outlet is formed in the enclosure for venting said exhaust gas to the exterior of the airplane fuselage. An outlet flap is connected to the enclosure for movement between a first position and a second position. In the first position, the outlet flap substantially seals the outlet in the enclosure when the exhaust gas is not supplied to the enclosure. In the second position, the outlet flap does not seal the outlet in the enclosure to allow for venting of the exhaust gas to the exterior of the airplane fuselage.

The aircraft stated in claim 1, further comprising: said outlet flap complementarily engaging said frame when said outlet flap is in said first position. 3. The aircraft stated in claim 1, further comprising: said outlet flap disposed substantially within said enclosure when said outlet flap is in said second position. 4. The aircraft stated in claim 1, further comprising: an actuator operatively connected to said outlet flap for biasing said outlet flap toward said second position when said exhaust gas is being supplied to said enclosure. 5. The aircraft stated in claim 1, further comprising: a locking member engageable with said outlet flap for restraining said outlet flap from moving toward said second position when said exhaust gas is not being supplied to said enclosure. 6. An aircraft exhaust vent assembly for venting an exhaust gas through a window opening formed in an aircraft fuselage, comprising: a frame receivable within said window opening of said airplane fuselage; an enclosure connected to said frame and at least partially disposed within said window opening; an inlet formed in said enclosure and connectable to an exhaust gas source for directing said exhaust gas into said enclosure; an outlet formed in said enclosure for venting said exhaust gas to an exterior of said aircraft fuselage; an outlet flap connected to said enclosure for movement between a first position, wherein said outlet flap substantially seals said outlet in said enclosure when said exhaust gas is not supplied to said enclosure, and a second position, wherein said outlet flap does not seal said outlet in said enclosure to allow for said exhaust gas to be vented to the exterior of said aircraft fuselage; and an actuator activated by a supply of said exhaust gas to said enclosure, said actuator operatively connected to said outlet flap for biasing said outlet flap toward said second position when said exhaust gas is supplied to said enclosure and for biasing said outlet flap toward said first position when said exhaust gas is not supplied to said enclosure. 7. The aircraft exhaust vent assembly stated in claim 6, further comprising: a locking member engageable with said outlet flap for restraining said outlet flap from moving toward said second position when said exhaust gas is not supplied to said enclosure. 8. The aircraft exhaust vent assembly stated in claim 6, further comprising: said frame having a first opening and a second opening; said outlet of said enclosure located adjacent to said first opening, wherein said first opening is in fluid communication with said outlet of said enclosure when said outlet flap is in said second position; and at least one window pane disposed in said second opening. 9. An aircraft exhaust vent assembly for venting an exhaust gas through a window opening formed in an aircraft fuselage, comprising: a frame receivable within said window opening of said airplane fuselage said frame having a first opening and a second opening; an enclosure connected to said frame and at least partially disposed within said window opening; an inlet formed in said enclosure and connectable to an exhaust gas source for directing said exhaust gas into said enclosure; an outlet formed in said enclosure for venting said exhaust gas to an exterior of said aircraft fuselage; an outlet flap connected to said enclosure for movement between a first position, wherein said outlet flap substantially seals said outlet in said enclosure when said exhaust gas is not supplied to said enclosure, and a second position, wherein said outlet flap does not seal said outlet in said enclosure to allow for said exhaust gas to be vented to the exterior of said aircraft fuselage; an actuator operatively connected to said outlet flap for biasing said outlet flap toward said second position when said exhaust gas is supplied to said enclosure and for biasing said outlet flap toward said first position when said exhaust gas is not supplied to said enclosure; said outlet of said enclosure located adjacent to said first opening, wherein said first opening is in fluid communication with said outlet of said enclosure when said outlet flap is in said second position; at least one window pane disposed in said second opening; said actuator having an actuator opening formed through said enclosure and communicatable with the interior of said enclosure; and said actuator having an actuator flap moveable in fixed relation to said outlet flap, wherein said actuator flap substantially blocks said actuator opening when said outlet flap is in said first position, and wherein said actuator flap does not substantially block said actuator opening when said outlet flap is in said second position. 10. The aircraft exhaust vent assembly stated in claim 9, further comprising: a flag connected to said actuator flap, wherein said flag is not visible from the exterior of said aircraft fuselage through said at least one window pane in said second opening when said outlet flap is in said first position, and wherein said flag is visible from the exterior of said airplane fuselage through said at least one window pane in said second opening when said outlet flap is in said second position to indicate that said outlet flap is not sealed with respect to said outlet. 11.
