ASSEMBLY HAVING A STRUCTURE AND A RESERVOIR FASTENED TO THE STRUCTURE AND CONTAINING AN EXTINGUISHING FLUID
An assembly having a chassis, two supports with a plate and a guide, a nesting system with a bore, a reservoir containing an extinguishing fluid and with two fastening tabs, two bearing tabs and a peg, and a fastener. The reservoir is able to move in translation between a premounting position in which each fastening and bearing tab rests on a plate and each guide guides the fastening and bearing tabs to align the peg and the bore, and a mounting position in which each fastening tab rests on the plate, the peg is introduced into the bore, the bearing tabs no longer rest on the plates and the fastener fastens each fastening tab to the plate. Such an assembly allows the reservoir to be withdrawn and put in place quickly and easily.
Fireproof assembly
A fireproof assembly for an aircraft engine, comprises a fireproof housing having an internal volume and an opening. A fireproof internal shield is located within the fireproof housing. The internal shield divides the volume into a first sub-volume and a second sub-volume, the first sub-volume configured for receiving a component of the aircraft engine. A non-fireproof component seals the opening of the fireproof housing. Fireproof fasteners are used to support internal shield inside the housing.

CLAMP FOR FIRE AND OVERHEAT DETECTION SYSTEM
A method of additively manufacturing a fire and overheat detection system (FODS) clamp onto a rail tube is provided. The method includes building a base of a clamp body on the rail tube, sequentially building portions of a locking feature and holders of the clamp body on the base and sequentially building remaining portions of the holders and flanges forming grooves at each of the holders of the clamp body on the base.

FIREWALL ASSEMBLIES FOR HYBRID ELECTRIC AIRCRAFT POWERPLANTS
A powerplant can include a first prime mover configured to turn a propulsor, and a second prime mover operatively connected in parallel with the first prime mover to turn the propulsor together with or separately from the first prime mover. The powerplant can include a firewall disposed around at least one of the first prime mover or the second prime mover to create a first prime mover fire zone and a second prime mover fire zone separate from the first prime mover fire zone such that the first prime mover is protected against a second prime mover fire, and vice versa.

Aircraft comprising a propulsion assembly and a fire-fighting system for the propulsion assembly
An aircraft with at least one propulsion assembly and its fire-fighting system, which includes two reservoirs of extinguishing agent, and, associated with each reservoir, a control that can be actuated by a pilot to open the reservoir, a detection assembly to detect a fire and emit, if appropriate, a fire alert signal, the propulsion assembly including a first and a second compartment each including at least one fire zone, the fire-fighting system including a bypass valve controlled by a localization unit, a set of pipes connecting each reservoir to each of the fire zones through the bypass valve, the localization unit configured to detect a fire in a fire zone in the first compartment, and, if appropriate, control the bypass valve so it adopts a first state where the extinguishing agent in a reservoir is expelled towards the one or more fire zones in the first compartment after activation of the control associated with a reservoir, the bypass valve otherwise being controlled to adopt a second state, in which the extinguishing agent in a reservoir is expelled towards the one or more fire zones in the second compartment.
