A ventilation system for a vehicle having a cabin includes a segmented plenum comprising a plurality of sub-plenums that are disposed above the cabin, a perforated panel defining the ceiling of the cabin and having plurality of perforations for air communication of the plenum with the cabin, and ductwork including one or more upper main ducts, lower main ducts, vertical ducts, and seat return ducts. The ducts communicate with each other to convey air, descending from the segmented plenum through the perforated panel as a high volume, low turbulence blanket of air through the cabin, back to the segmented plenum. The ventilation system also includes an air processing unit (APU) in communication with the ductwork and operable to sterilize the air conveyed therein, and one or more fans for circulating the air in the ventilation system.
