Abstract
A valve assembly () for an aircraft water supply system. The valve assembly () comprises a valve member (), an electrical motor (), and a mechanical returning mechanism (). When electrical power is provided, the motor () can be controlled to move the valve member () from a first position and to a second position. The mechanism () is operably connected to the valve member () and mechanically biases it towards the first position. If a power loss occurs when the valve member () is in the second position, the returning mechanism () non-electrically (e.g., mechanically) returns the valve member () to the first position.
