Abstract
A reception coupling for air-to-air refuelling has a main body and a fuel passage. A moveable valve member is provided for opening and closing the fuel passage. A chamber is separate from the fuel passage. A portion of the valve member can be accommodated in the chamber as the valve member moves toward an open position, shielding that portion from effects of pressure in the fuel passage.
