    Abstract: 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.

    Abstract: A coating system for applying coating liquid such as a base coat, a paint, a lacquer or a protective layer to surfaces of buildings, wind turbines, ships and aircraft. The coating system includes an unmanned aerial machine in the form of a helicopter for dispensing the coating liquid. The aerial machine has a fuselage, two rotors, a tank for holding the coating liquid, and an applicator for dispensing the coating liquid and outputting same onto a surface to be coated. In order to supply the tank with coating liquid, the tank is fastened to the aerial vehicle and the tank or aerial vehicle has a filling opening for refilling the tank in the landed state of the vehicle, and/or the tank is part of an exchangeable tank module coupled to the fuselage and/or is uncoupled from the fuselage by a coupling device controlled in an automated manner.

    Abstract: A system ensures the correct type of fuel is dispensed in an aircraft while removing the introduction of human error in the refueling process. The system includes an RFID tag disposed at one or more aircraft that electronically stores data such as engine type, engine hours, fuel type, tail number, and pilot/subscriber data for the aircraft on which the RFID tag is disposed. An RFID reader is disposed at or near a fuel dispensing mechanism, such as a fuel truck or tank. A signal indicative of fuel type is emitted from the RFID tag to the RFID reader. RFID tags on aircraft that are enrolled in the system's subscription service enable aircraft to be recognized by a module operating the fuel dispensing mechanism. Based on a comparison performed by the module, authorization to begin fueling is either permitted or declined.

    Abstract: A modular subfloor system comprises first longitudinal structural frames, lateral regions, and a modular tank system that is connected to the first longitudinal structural frames. The modular tank system comprises a bottom shell, an upper panel, second longitudinal structural frames arranged between the bottom shell and the upper panel and transversal structural frames that are arranged between the bottom shell and the upper panel. The transversal structural frames and the second longitudinal structural frames form compartments. The modular tank system further comprises tank bladders arranged in at least some of the compartments and sealing elements that seal the upper panel, the bottom shell, and the at least some of the compartments of the modular tank system.

    Abstract: An aircraft hybrid fuel system includes a main tank and a set of flexible bladders, the main tank and the set of flexible bladders defining a fuel containment space. The system further includes a set of pathways coupling the set of flexible bladders to the main tank. The set of pathways is constructed and arranged to vent gas out of the set of flexible bladders into the main tank while fuel from a fuel source is provided into the fuel containment space defined by the main tank and the set of flexible bladders. Along these lines, each flexible bladder can be provisioned with a fuel port to provide fuel, and a separate vent port to vent gas to the main tank.
