Abstract
An aircraft includes a hose that makes it possible to channel the pressurized air that is used in a sleeve (52) that delimits an annular chamber with the hose, with the sleeve (52) including at least one opening (54) that is delimited by an edge (58) that makes it possible to link the annular chamber and the outside of the sleeve (52), and a leak detection system that includes at least one loop (A) in the form of a threadlike element (56), characterized in that it includes a connecting device that includes a ring (60) that is connected at at least one connecting point (64) with a loop (A), and a flexible wall that delimits a hose (68) for channeling the air that extends from the edge (58) of the opening (54) up to the ring (60).
