摘要： A pipe support for supporting a pipe of an aircraft fuel system is disclosed. The pipe support has first and second parts which together form a collar to retain the pipe. The first and second parts of the pipe support are able to be moved relative to each other between an open condition, in which the pipe is insertable between the first and second parts, and a closed condition, in which the first and second parts are brought together to retain the pipe. The collar is locatable in an opening in a structural member, such as a wing rib. When the collar is located in the opening in the wing rib, the pipe support is restricted from moving from the closed condition.

摘要： An apparatus and method for installing an aircraft bulkhead connector with a bulkhead is disclosed where access to only one side of the bulkhead is required. The disclosure is also applicable to installation of bulkhead connectors in aircraft fuel tanks. An aircraft bulkhead connector and installation tool is also disclosed. The bulkhead connector includes a female end portion and the installation tool includes a male end portion. The male end portion of the installation tool is removably engaged with the female end portion of the bulkhead connector, such that the installation tool protrudes beyond the female end portion of the bulkhead connector. The installation tool may be inserted through an aperture in a bulkhead and used to both position and hold the bulkhead connector during the installation process.

摘要： An inert gas distribution system nozzle 1 including an inlet 10 to receive fluid from a fluid supply, a chamber 32 to receive the fluid from the inlet and dimensioned relative to the inlet to permit the fluid to expand to form a mist, and at least one passage 34 to receive the fluid from the chamber and dimensioned relative to the chamber to promote condensing of the mist, wherein the, or each, passage comprises an outlet 40 to emit the fluid from the nozzle. A cross-sectional area of the passage is less than a cross-sectional area of the chamber.
