Abstract: A winglet for attachment to a wing portion of an aircraft including a winglet root. The winglet root defines a recess for receiving a connector of the wing portion in use and includes at least one protrusion for receipt into at least one corresponding hole of the wing portion in use. A portion of the winglet root that at least partially defines an upper or a lower side of the recess has at least one hole extending therethrough for receiving a fastener for fastening the winglet to the connector when the connector is located in the recess.

Abstract: A wingtip device 1 including an upwardly extending winglet 2 and a downwardly extending winglet 4. The downwardly extending winglet 4 is connected to the upwardly extending winglet 2 at a join 6. An aircraft light 10 is located at the join 6 between the upwardly extending winglet 2 and the downwardly extending winglet 4.

Abstract: A method of locking a fastener assembly against rotation relative to a laminar composite workpiece, the method comprising: passing a fastener through the workpiece; fitting a washer to the fastener; locking the washer against rotation relative to the workpiece; screwing a nut onto the fastener so as to clamp the washer against the workpiece; and locking the nut against rotation relative to the washer; a a fastener assembly comprising: two or more fasteners; two or more nuts; a washer with two or more holes each sized to receive a respective one of the fasteners; and a locking mechanism adapted to prevent relative rotation between the nuts and the washer after the nuts have been screwed up to a desired torque.
