A coupling assembly that connects first and second conduits and prevents a fluid from leaking from a junction formed between the first and second conduits. The coupling assembly includes an inner coupling and an outer coupling that extends around and connects the first and second conduits. A retention strap extends around the first and second conduits and is positioned between the inner and outer coupling.

Example methods and apparatus for mitigating aerodynamic flutter of aircraft wing flaps are disclosed. An example apparatus includes a fairing, an actuator, and a damper. The fairing is located on a bottom side of a wing of an aircraft. The actuator is disposed in the fairing. The actuator is coupled to and extends between the wing and a flap of the wing. The damper is disposed in the fairing. The damper is coupled to and extends between the fixed wing and the moveable flap.
