AIRCRAFT REFUELLING DEVICE AND METHOD FOR MANUFACTURING A WING COUPLING FOR SUCH A DEVICE

摘要

This aircraft refuelling device (400) comprises a fuel circulation pipe (40) of which the downstream end (43) is equipped with a wing coupling (42) for connecting it to an inlet orifice of a fuel tank of the aircraft. This wing coupling comprises a body (421) which defines a fuel circulation duct at the end of the pipe, a sensor (501) for measuring the value of a parameter indicative of a flow of fuel passing through the wing coupling, and at least one battery (502) electrically powering this sensor. The sensor and the electrical power supply battery are housed in two half-shells (500A, 500B) mounted together around the body (421) of the wing coupling (42).
