A fluid conduit for aircraft, the conduit having a pipe made from thermoplastic material having a connection end which extends along a pipe axis and a connector which is intended to be mounted in the connection end by a translational movement along the pipe axis in a downstream direction, the connector having a joining portion which extends longitudinally along the connector axis and which is configured to extend into the connection end, the joining portion having a free longitudinal end which is chamfered, the free longitudinal end being configured to be radially deformed after the connector is mounted in the connection end, which has been thermally expanded beforehand, so that the conduit has an internal surface which has an internal radius which is substantially constant at the interface between the connector and the pipe.

Aircraft fluid conduit comprising thermoplastic piping and connector

A pipe intended to be mounted in a fluid circuit of an aircraft, the pipe comprising a tube and two connection ends, the tube being made of a thermoplastic material and having a cylindrical shape, the tube defining an internal surface, intended to be in contact with the fluid, and an external surface opposite the internal surface, the pipe comprising at least one reinforcement band extending longitudinally on the external surface of a longitudinal portion of the tube, so as to form a reinforced portion of the tube.
