An aircraft water tank includes a conical surface of a skirt portion and a conical surface of an inner liner attached together using an adhesive, with an identical adhesive used in forming a fiber-reinforced resin layer on the inner liner via a filament winding method. When attaching with the adhesive, the adhesive is expelled at the outer circumferential edge of the skirt portion from between the conical surface of the skirt portion and the conical surface of the inner liner. Reinforcement fibers are applied on top of the protruding adhesive, and the adhesive impregnates into the reinforcement fibers. The protruding adhesive and the reinforcement fibers form a reinforcing member which connects a uniform stress surface of the skirt portion to a uniform stress surface of the inner liner located radially outward of the skirt portion.

A mobile self-vending beverage dispenser is disclosed. In embodiments, the dispenser includes a mobile housing divided into segmented sections. Each segmented section includes an outlet at the bottom for dispensing canned beverages and an access hatch for loading canned beverages into the segmented section. Each segmented section includes a vertical staggered raceway extending from the access hatch the outlet via which the segmented section is loaded with canned beverages, the cans traveling in a gravity-assisted path downward to the outlet for dispensing upon request.
