    Abstract: A first aspect of the present invention provides an aircraft assembly comprising a wing and an engine mounting pylon. An aft end of the engine mounting pylon is connected to the wing by a spigot and at least one fastener. The aircraft assembly is configured such that, during operation of the aircraft assembly on an aircraft, the spigot transfers only lateral load between the engine mounting pylon and the wing and the at least one fastener transfers only vertical load between the engine mounting pylon and the wing.

    Abstract: An aerodynamic body for use on an aircraft is presented. The aerodynamic body includes at least a first perforated surface portion (25) and an ice-protection system (31). The first perforated surface portion (25) has perforations, the ice-protection system (31) includes an actuatable element (33) and the actuatable element (33) is movable or deformable between a first position and a second position. In the first position at least a section of the actuatable element (33) is thermally coupled to the first perforated surface portion (25) and configured to prevent an inflow or outflow between a boundary layer of an outer aerodynamic airflow and the aerodynamic body through at least one of the perforations. In the second position at least a section of the actuatable element (33) is distanced from the first perforated surface portion (25) and configured to allow an inflow from a boundary layer of an outer aerodynamic airflow through at least one of the perforations into the aerodynamic body.

    Abstract: An aircraft wing (2) having a main wing (3) and a trailing edge flight control surface (4) movable between a retracted position, a first extended position in which the control surface is positioned rearwardly in the chord wise direction relative to its retracted position, and a second extended position in which the control surface is rotated relative to its retracted position. A closure panel (12), mounted to the main wing (3), extends from the main wing to the control surface (4), to provide an air flow surface between the main wing and control surface, both when the control surface is in its retracted position and its first extended position. The closure panel (12) is movable, relative to the control surface (4), to an open configuration in which it opens an airflow passage (40) provided between the control surface (4) and an opposed surface of the aircraft wing when the control surface (4) is in its second extended position.

    Abstract: The application relates to a pipe support block for an aircraft fluid system. The pipe support block is arranged to support a pipe on a structural member, such as a bracket. The pipe support has a first part and a second part which together form a collar. The collar has a pipe receiving bore and is configured to support a fluid pipe on the structural member. First and second fastener holes extend through both the first part and the second part. The first and second fastener holes are each arranged to receive a fastener to fasten the first and second parts to each other and to the structural member.

    Abstract: The present application relates to a spark containment cap. The cap forms a sealed cavity around an end of a fastener protruding from a structure. The cap has a cap body defining an air cavity arranged to enclose the end of the fastener. The cap body includes an annular base (210) terminating at a base rim (211) which surrounds an opening into the air cavity. An annular skirt (230) of the cap provides an annular sealing volume extending around the base rim (211) arranged to receive an annular bead of a curable sealing material around the opening into the cavity to provide a seal between the cap body and the structure to seal a volume of gas within the cavity. The cap body comprises a cap upper arranged to receive at least part of the end of the fastener. The cap upper (220) is positionable so that an axis of the cap upper (220) is offset from an axis of the annular skirt (230).

    Abstract: There is provided an aircraft assembly comprising a wing component and an engine mounting pylon component. The wing component comprises three fastening locations arranged in a triangle such that they define a plane. The engine mounting pylon component is connected to the wing component by three tension fasteners, wherein each of the tension fasteners passes through a different one of the fastening locations. The wing component comprises three first spherical surfaces positioned such that the centre of each first spherical surface is at a different one of the fastening locations. The engine mounting pylon component comprises three second spherical surfaces having equal and opposite curvature to the first spherical surfaces. Each of the second spherical surfaces is in contact with a different one of the first spherical surfaces.

    Abstract: An apparatus includes an outlet configured to output hot air, a flow control device movable between a first position and a second position, and a phase change actuator. The phase change actuator is connected to the flow control device and configured to move the flow control device between the first position and the second position at a predetermined temperature where a change of phase of a working substance of the phase change actuator occurs. In the second position, the flow control device may be configured to interact with an airflow and/or the hot air so as to protect a structure downstream of the outlet from overheating. The flow control device may be a vortex generator. In the second position, the vortex generator may be configured to interact with an airflow and/or the hot air from the outlet so as to redirect and/or reduce the temperature of the hot air.
