An assembly having a pylon with an upper spar and four lateral scoops, a wing with a skin, longitudinal spars and fittings, and, for each lateral scoop, two fastening assemblies, wherein the skin and the fitting each have a first bore and wherein the upper spar and the lateral scoop each have a second bore, wherein each fastening assembly has a screw passing through the first and the second bores, a nut, two eccentric rings, threaded onto one another and onto the screw, and a system for stopping the eccentric rings rotating. The assembly makes it possible to dispense with the use of the spigots while also ensuring the reaction of the shear forces contained in the XY plane by the bolts on account of the reduced tolerances between the various bores, the external and internal surfaces of the eccentric rings and the plain zones of the screws.

A wing for an aircraft includes a first end, a second end, and a skin extending longitudinally from the first end to the second end. The wing also includes at least one channel positioned within the skin and extending longitudinally between the first and second ends. The at least one channel defines a longitudinal translation path for translating at least one electrical power source longitudinally between the first and second ends.

A fluid adjustment device is provided with: a body part mounted on a wing tip, which is an end part of a main wing on the opposite side to the wing root, and having an upper opening and a lower opening formed in an upper surface of the body part and a lower surface of the body part; a first Francis turbine that sucks air from the upper opening and the lower opening and discharges the sucked air from the trailing edge side of the main wing; and a first motor for rotating the first Francis turbine in a direction opposite to a rotation direction of a wingtip vortex generated at the wingtip. The first Francis turbine has a central axis extending from the leading edge of the main wing toward the trailing edge, sucks air from the circumferential direction, and discharges the sucked air in the axial direction.

An assembly with an aircraft fuel tank is disclosed having a captive nut with an internal thread, a secondary structure, and a fastener which secures the secondary structure to the fuel tank. The fastener has a shaft which passes through the secondary structure and has an external thread coupled to the internal thread of the captive nut. The fuel tank has a fuel tank element with a hole, and the captive nut has a sleeve which is located in the hole with an interference fit between an outer surface of the sleeve and an inner surface of the wall of the hole.

A fastener for holding together two or more structures. The fastener includes a first bush and a second bush. The first bush includes a hollow shaft having a first end and a second end opposite to the first end. The first end of the first bush has a first radially-extending protrusion. The second bush includes a hollow shaft having a first end and a second end opposite to the first end. The first end of the second bush has a second radially-extending protrusion. The second end of the second bush is configured to connect to the second end of the first bush so as to resist separation of the first and second bushes and so as to define an axial hole through the fastener defined by the shaft of the first bush and the shaft of the second bush.
