A coupling for vacuum-insulated piping is disclosed having first and second parts for forming the coupling; each of the first and second parts comprising an inner portion for fluid communication with an inner part of a vacuum-insulated pipe and an outer portion for fluid communication with an outer, low pressure part of a vacuum-insulated pipe; the inner portions of the first and second parts form an inner region for the passage of fluid therethrough; each of the first and second parts comprising an interface portion for forming an interface with interface portion of the other of the first and second parts, the interface portion comprising a flange for connecting the first and second parts; each of the first and second parts comprises a sleeve surrounding the outer portion, the sleeve comprising a thermally-conducting portion that is in thermal communication with the interface portion so as to conduct heat away from the interface portion.

Coupling for insulated piping

A fluid pipe connection is disclosed having an inner pipe assembly including a first inner pipe section and a second inner pipe section, and an inner joint between the first inner pipe section and second inner pipe section; an outer pipe assembly having a first outer pipe section, a second outer pipe section, a shroud covering the inner joint and mechanically connecting the first outer pipe section to the second outer pipe section via a mechanical connection, and a hatch fastened to the shroud by one or more fasteners and covering a hole in the shroud, wherein the hatch is moveable between a closed position and an open position to provide access to the inner joint through the hole.

Fluid pipe connection

A pipe joint including an outer pipe assembly having a first outer pipe portion, a second outer pipe portion, and a shroud coupling the first and second outer pipe portions. The outer pipe joint includes an outer securing mechanism securing the shroud to the second outer pipe portion. The inner pipe assembly, within the outer pipe assembly, includes a first inner pipe portion coupled to a second inner pipe portion via an inner pipe joint. The inner pipe assembly provides an inner fluid flow path extending axially and across the inner pipe joint. The shroud is movably mounted to the first outer pipe portion, and the outer securing mechanism is releasable so the shroud can move along the first outer pipe portion and withdrawn from the second outer pipe portion to open a gap between the shroud and the second outer pipe portion for the inner pipe joint.

Pipe joint

An aircraft wing assembly including a wing () and a wing tip device () at the tip of the wing (), the wing tip device () having front and rear spars (), wherein the wing tip device () has a cross-brace spar () that links the front and rear spars and is oriented such that it is oblique to the front and rear spars ().

Spar arrangement in a wing tip device

An aircraft including: a wing having a leading edge; an electric motor mounted on the wing; and an electric power cable in the wing for providing power to the electric motor, wherein the electric power cable runs through a duct in the wing; the duct comprises an air inlet and an air outlet; and the electric power cable is cooled by air passing through the duct between the air inlet and the air outlet.

Air cooling

An aircraft () having a wing () and a wing tip device () at the tip of the wing (), the wing tip device () having front and rear spars (), wherein the wing tip device () has a cross-brace spar () that links the front and rear spars and is oriented such that it is oblique to the front and rear spars ().
