AIRCRAFT HAVING A DIHYDROGEN TRANSPORT PIPE AND AN EMBEDDING CHANNEL FOR SAID TRANSPORT PIPE

An aircraft having at least one transport pipe in which dihydrogen flows and, for each transport pipe, an embedding channel in which the transport pipe is housed. The embedding channel has a gutter that has a bottom and an opening opposite the bottom and a cover that covers the opening of the gutter. The cover constitutes an outer wall of the aircraft in direct contact with external air surrounding the aircraft. The cover has ventilation windows passing through it that allow the passage of the dihydrogen towards the outside. With such an arrangement, even in the event of dihydrogen leaking into the embedding channel, the dihydrogen is automatically evacuated towards the outside of the aircraft.

Asset utilization management for aircraft ground refueling equipment

A system for monitoring components of an aircraft ground refueling system includes a first computing device and a second computing device hosting a data base. The first computing device is caused to read a component identification tag secured to a component of an aircraft ground refueling system; the tag contains a unique component identifier. The first computing device transmits the component identifier to the second computing device which verifies that the component identifier is active in the data. The first computer, responsive to the verification, displays a user interface to receive data representative of an operational status of the component and transmits the operational status. The second computing device stores the data in the database to create an operational history of the component. The second computing device analyzes the history of the data to determine a characteristic operational parameter of the component of the aircraft ground refueling system.
