A system for delivering oxygen enriched air to a selected location on an aircraft may include: a gas separation system configured to output a flow of the oxygen enriched air; an environmental control system configured to output a flow of conditioned air; and/or first, second, and third ducts. The first duct may be configured to direct the flow of the oxygen enriched air to the third duct. The second duct may be configured to direct the flow of the conditioned air to the third duct. The conditioned air and the oxygen enriched air may be mixed in the third duct. The third duct may be configured to direct the mixed conditioned and oxygen enriched air to at least one dispensing station at the selected location that is configured to dispense the mixed conditioned and oxygen enriched air to users of the at least one dispensing station.

1. A system for delivering oxygen enriched air to a flight deck on an aircraft and to a selected location on the aircraft, the system comprising: a gas separation system configured to output a flow of the oxygen enriched air;an environmental control system configured to output a flow of conditioned air; andfirst, second, third, and fourth ducts;wherein the first duct is configured to direct the flow of the oxygen enriched air to the third duct,wherein the second duct is configured to direct a first portion of the flow of the conditioned air to the third duct,wherein the first portion of the flow of the conditioned air and the flow of the oxygen enriched air are mixed in the third duct,wherein the third duct is configured to direct the mixed conditioned and oxygen enriched air to the flight deck and to at least one dispensing station at the selected location, the at least one dispensing station at the selected location being configured to dispense the mixed conditioned and oxygen enriched air to users of the at least one dispensing station,wherein the fourth duct is configured to direct a second portion of the flow of the conditioned air to a main cabin of the aircraft, andwherein the flow of the oxygen enriched air to the third duct is controlled to reduce an effective altitude of the flight deck and of the at lease one dispensing station. 2. The system as recited in claim 1, where the gas separation system comprises a nitrogen generation system on the aircraft. 3. The system as recited in claim 1, where the selected location is a passenger communal area. 4. The system as recited in claim 3, wherein the passenger communal area includes a plurality of dispensing stations. 5. The system as recited in claim 4, wherein each of the plurality of dispensing stations includes a user support device, a counter, and individual dispensing implements. 6. The system as recited in claim 1, further comprising: an air humidification system configured to humidify the mixed conditioned and oxygen enriched air. 7. The system as recited in claim 6, where the air humidification system is coupled to a water source. 8. The system as recited in claim 1, further comprising: a temperature regulating device configured to regulate a temperature of the mixed conditioned and oxygen enriched air. 9. The system as recited in claim 1, wherein the environmental control system comprises an air humidification system. 10. The system as recited in claim 9, where the air humidification system is coupled to a water source. 11. The system as recited in claim 1, wherein the environmental control system comprises a heat exchanger. 12. The system as recited in claim 1, wherein the environmental control system comprises an air conditioning pack. 13. The system as recited in claim 1, wherein the environmental control system comprises a filter. 14. The system as recited in claim 1, wherein the environmental control system comprises a water separator. 15. A method for delivering oxygen enriched air to a flight deck on an aircraft and to a selected location on the aircraft, the method comprising: outputting a flow of the oxygen enriched air from a gas separation system;outputting a flow of conditioned air from an environmental control system;directing the flow of the oxygen enriched air, using a first duct, to a third duct;directing a first portion of the flow of the conditioned air, using a second duct, to the third duct;directing a second portion of the flow of the conditioned air, using a fourth duct, to a main cabin of the aircraft;mixing the first portion of the flow of the conditioned air and the flow of the oxygen enriched air in the third duct;directing the mixed conditioned and oxygen enriched air to the flight deck and to at least one dispensing station at the selected location;dispensing the mixed conditioned and oxygen enriched air to users of the at least one dispensing station; andcontrolling the flow of the oxygen enriched air to the third duct in order to reduce an effective altitude of the flight deck and of the at least one dispensing station. 16. The method as recited in claim 15, where the gas separation system comprises a nitrogen generation system on the aircraft. 17. The method as recited in claim 15, further comprising: regulating a temperature of the mixed conditioned and oxygen enriched air. 18. The method as recited in claim 15, further comprising: humidifying the mixed conditioned and oxygen enriched air. 19. The method as recited in claim 15, further comprising: adding scents or flavors to the mixed conditioned and oxygen enriched air. 20. A system for delivering oxygen enriched air to a flight deck on an aircraft and to a selected location on the aircraft, the system comprising: a gas separation system configured to output a flow of the oxygen enriched air;an environmental control system configured to output a flow of conditioned air;one or more ejectors; andfirst, second, third, and fourth ducts;wherein the first duct is configured to direct the flow of the oxygen enriched air to the one or more ejectors,wherein the one or more ejectors are configured to boost a pressure of the oxygen enriched air and to direct the flow of the pressure-boosted oxygen enriched air to the third duct,wherein the second duct is configured to direct a first portion of the flow of the conditioned air to the third duct,wherein the first portion of the flow of the conditioned air and the flow of the pressure-boosted oxygen enriched air are mixed in the third duct,wherein the third duct is configured to direct the mixed conditioned and pressure-boosted oxygen enriched air to the flight deck and to at least one dispensing station at the selected location, the at least one dispensing station at the selected location being configured to dispense the mixed conditioned and pressure-boosted oxygen enriched air to users of the at least one dispensing station,wherein the fourth duct is configured to direct a second portion of the flow of the conditioned air to a main cabin of the aircraft, andwherein the flow of the pressure-boosted oxygen enriched air to the third duct is controlled to reduce an effective altitude of the flight deck and of the at least one dispensing station.
