    摘要: A storage tank for storing gaseous hydrogen comprises a boundary wall 11 having a laminate composite structure which includes a resin-rich layer 102 forming an internal surface 101 of the boundary wall, a glass-fibre composite layer 104 in contact with the resin-rich layer and a carbon fibre composite layer 106 in contact with the glass-fibre composite layer on a side thereof remote from the resin-rich layer. The laminate structure provides a high level of hydrogen impermeability and resistance to microcracking as a result of pressure cycling, providing the tank with a gravimetric efficiency appropriate to aeronautical applications. ,

    摘要: An aircraft (10) defining longitudinal (A), lateral (B) and vertical (C) directions the aircraft (10) comprising:
    a main wing (16) and a tail (18), each being pivotable about the lateral direction (B);
    a plurality of main propellers (30) mounted to the main wing (16), and configured to pivot with the main wing (16);
    at least one cruise propeller (32) mounted to the tail (18), and configured to pivot with the tail (18);
    each main propeller (30) being stowable from a deployed position to a stowed position; wherein
    each main propeller (30a-30d) has a fixed pitch, and each cruise propeller (32a, 32b) has a variable pitch.

    摘要: A vertical take-off and landing aircraft is shown. The VTOL aircraft has a main wing comprising a left wing and a right wing configured as folding wings, and one or more of a foreplane, comprising a left canard and a right canard configured as folding wings, and/or a tailplane, comprising a left stabiliser and a right stabiliser configured as folding wings. Each one of the folding wings has a fixed inboard section and a folding outboard section. The folding outboard section is downwardly foldable to a landing condition to support the aircraft on a surface.

    摘要: A composite component having a body formed from a plurality of fibre reinforced non-metallic layers. The body comprises a delamination region configured so as to permit delamination; and a deflector region configured so as to resist delamination. In the event of delamination, delamination is deflected to and continues to propagate in the delamination region.
