Abstract:
A method of rotatably couple a wing tip device (4) to a fixed wing (3) by a rotational joint (101) having an outer race (8) and an inner race (9) that is received in the outer race (8) one of the inner and outer races comprises a male member (76) and the other is a two-part assembly comprising a first part (9a) and a second part (9b) that together form a female member (72), the method brings the first and second parts together to form the female member (72) about the male member (76) such that the male member (76) is received in the female member (72) and fixing the first and second parts (9a, 9b) such that the race that is rotationally fixed relative to the wing tip device (4) is axially and radially retained relative to the race that is rotationally fixed relative to the fixed wing (3).
