SLIDABLE DUCT ASSEMBLY FOR AIRCRAFT ANTI-ICING CONDUIT SYSTEMS

摘要

Disclosed is a slidable duct assembly for conducting air from a fixed component to a component that is movable with respect to the fixed component by conducting air from a fixed means for supplying the air, associated with the fix ed component, to a means for delivering the air, movable along with the movable component. The duct assembly contains at least two metallic telescoping, tubular conduit sections for rotatably interconnecting the supply means to the delivery means, and a pair of electrically-conductible, spaced-apart slide bearings positioned b etween the inner surface and the outer surface of each adjacent conduit section to elec trically bond the duct assembly.
