Abstract: A hydraulic drive for an aircraft includes: a gear, a first hydraulic pump and a second hydraulic pump, wherein the gear is installed in a gear housing and wherein the first hydraulic pump and the second hydraulic pump in each case are installed in a pump housing that is affixed to the gear housing, or the two together are installed in a pump housing that is affixed to the gear housing; a hydraulic supply device including a first and a second hydraulic system for operating actuators of the aircraft; and a monitoring and drive device, with the hydraulic supply device including a first hydraulic drive for coupling the latter to a first engine, and a second hydraulic drive for coupling the latter to a second engine, wherein each hydraulic drive includes: a gear drive shaft for coupling the respective hydraulic drive to an engine output shaft of the respective associated engine; two hydraulic pumps that are coupled to a gear output shaft, in each case with a connection device for connecting the hydraulic pump to

Abstract: A device for the protection against the rupture of pipes carrying a fluid includes two or more flow channels and a closing element which interrupts the flow of fluid if a predetermined permissible volume flow is exceeded. At least one of the flow channels can be closed by a test closure in order to increase the flow speed in the remaining flow channels and for test purposes to bring about a movement of the closing element into the closing position. In this way, devices for the protection against the rupture of pipes integrated into complex systems carrying a fluid can be tested in situ to verify their proper functioning.
