    摘要: Aircraft refuelling device including a fuel circulation pipe of which the downstream end is equipped with a wing coupling for connecting it to an inlet orifice of a fuel tank of the aircraft. The wing coupling includes a body which defines a fuel circulation duct at the end of the pipe, a sensor for measuring the value of a parameter indicative of a flow of fuel passing through the wing coupling, and at least one battery electrically powering the sensor. The sensor and the electrical power supply battery are housed in two half-shells mounted together around the body of the wing coupling.

    摘要: Fuel tank inerting systems and methods for aircraft are provided. The systems include a fuel tank, a first reactant source fluidly connected to the fuel tank and arranged to receive fuel from the fuel tank, a second reactant source, a catalytic reactor arranged to receive a first and second reactants from the first and second sources, respectively, to generate an inert gas that is supplied to the fuel tank to fill a ullage space of the fuel tank, a heat exchanger arranged between the catalytic reactor and the fuel tank and downstream of the catalytic reactor, the heat exchanger arranged to at least one of condense and cool an output from the catalytic reactor to separate out an inert gas and a byproduct, and a cool air source arranged to supply cool air to the heat exchanger and then the catalytic reactor to provide thermal control of the catalytic reactor.

    摘要: A fuel manifold adapted to communicate with at least one fuel tank of an aircraft is presented. The manifold defines an enclosure adapted to be filled with fuel and to have an internal pressure P1 higher than the internal pressure P2 of the fuel tank. The enclosure includes at least one ceiling and at least one side wall provided with overflow holes adapted to communicate with the fuel tank. The manifold includes a mechanism for discharging an air pocket, trapped between the ceiling and the level of the overflow holes, to the fuel tank.

    摘要: An aircraft fuel system has a fuel tank for containing liquid fuel, the fuel tank having a base. The aircraft fuel system also has a fuel pump for drawing liquid fuel from the fuel tank, a fuel conduit having a fuel outlet through which fuel is permitted to flow from the fuel tank, and a filter defining a filtered fuel space enclosing the fuel outlet. The fuel conduit extends between the fuel outlet and the fuel pump, and the filter extends from the base to enclose the fuel outlet. The fuel conduit extends into the filtered space and the fuel outlet faces and is spaced from the base. This helps to minimise the quantity of unusable fuel in the aircraft fuel system. The present application also relates to an aircraft wing having an aircraft fuel system, and an aircraft having an aircraft fuel system.

    摘要: A tank wall connector system for use with a composite tank, the connector comprises a connector having a body extending from an interior of the tank to an exterior of the tank when installed through a hole in the composite tank. The connector has a first electrical conductivity property. An interface is positioned between the connector and a wall of the composite tank when installed to the tank thereby preventing physical contact between the connector and the tank wall in the interior of the tank, the interface having a second electrical conductivity property, different from the first electrical conductivity property.

    摘要: The aircraft (10) includes: at least one electric motor (135); at least one stand-alone electrical power supply (110, 120) supplying power to the electric motor; propulsion elements (130) referred to as “auxiliary propulsion elements”, included in the group including: a stand-alone electrical power supply (130) supplying power to the electric motor, a power supply converting thermal energy into electrical energy and supplying power to the electric motor, and an internal combustion engine; and a structure (100) configured to integrate each electric motor, each stand-alone electrical power supply and the auxiliary propulsion elements, the parameters of the structure being substantially identical regardless of the auxiliary propulsion elements. A method of fitting out such an aircraft is also described.
