Abstract: An aircraft, a center wing box assembly for an aircraft, and a spanwise beam section for a center wing box assembly that includes a segmented structural configuration with an optimized access hole to accommodate user access into an interior space of the center wing box for purposes of assembly and maintenance. The center wing box assembly includes a first spanwise beam section, a second spanwise beam section, spaced from the first spanwise beam section, and a plurality of chord members serving as load-bearing structural reinforcement members for the first spanwise beam section and the second spanwise beam section. The chord members extend across the space between the first spanwise beam section and the second spanwise beam section to connect the first spanwise beam section and the second spanwise beam section in a manner which defines an access hole at the interior space.

Abstract: There is provided a method of manufacturing a nutritional composition comprising carbohydrate in an amount of at least 250 g l?1 of composition. The method comprises the steps of: (i) combining a first gelling agent and water, (ii) heating the mixture produced in step (i) to a temperature of between 60° C. and 100° C.; (iii) combining a second gelling agent with the heated mixture of step (ii) with mixing; and (iv) maintaining the mixture produced in step (iii) at a temperature of between 70° C. and 100° C. for between 10 and 120 minutes; with a carbohydrate component being combined with the mixture during one or more of said steps. Also provided is a nutritional composition.
