Abstract:
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.
