Abstract

A fluid connection system (320) for fluidly connecting a pair of fluid reservoirs, such as fuel cells (302, 304, 306, 308), includes a bellowed portion (322) surrounding a connection portion (330) through which fluid can flow between the two reservoirs. The bellowed portion (322) allows for relative movement between the two reservoirs without breaking the fluid-tight connection between the two reservoirs. Also, a guard member (340) surrounds at least some of the outer periphery of the bellowed portion (322). The guard member (340) serves as a shield around the fluid-tight connection and bellowed portion (322), and thereby helps prevent damage to the fluid-tight connection in the event of a crash or hard landing.
