An assembly for an aircraft, the assembly including a pylon with a lateral wall pierced by a window, a tank with a neck blocked by a film and carrying a first anchoring arrangement, and a fixing arrangement for fixing at least a part of the tank bearing the neck inside the pylon, a discharge pipe, and a discharge head. The head includes an explosive cartridge and a hole with a second anchoring arrangement in which discharges the discharge pipe. The discharge head is fixed inside the pylon facing the window. The explosive cartridge is designed to generate in the hole a shockwave sufficient to rupture the film. An assembly of this kind enables simple and rapid removal of the tank from and installation thereof inside the pylon.

A cooling system for cooling electronic aircraft equipment comprises a primary cooling arrangement configured to provide basic cooling energy for cooling the electronic aircraft equipment and a supplemental cooling arrangement configured to provide supplemental cooling energy for cooling the electronic aircraft equipment. The supplemental cooling arrangement comprises a coolant supply system and a coolant distribution system. The coolant supply system is configured to supply a compressed coolant to the electronic aircraft equipment to be cooled, and the coolant distribution system is configured to selectively direct the compressed coolant supplied by the coolant supply system to at least one of a plurality of components of the electronic aircraft equipment.

An assembly of at least one extinguishing agent tank in the interior of an aircraft strut. The strut has an elongate chamber form extending in a longitudinal direction and includes a plurality of ribs which are spaced apart and arranged in parallel along the strut, each extending orthogonally to the longitudinal direction. The ribs are covered by lateral walls, at least one of the walls comprising a window opening into a space between two consecutive ribs, and via which a spherical extinguishing agent tank is installed in the interior of the strut. The assembly of the tank on the strut includes a frame arranged in the interior of the strut, facing the window and secured on each of the two consecutive ribs. The frame forms a support area on which the tank is supported. A system locks the extinguishing agent tank on the frame.

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.

The present invention is directed to multifunctional surfacing films each comprising: (a) a single layer of curable polymer composition having opposing first and second surfaces: (b) a peelable porous sheet disposed at or beneath the second surface; and (d) at least one porous sheet of functional material disposed within the single layer of curable polymer composition and positioned between the first surface and the peelable porous sheet, and methods of making and using such multifunctional surfacing films.

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.

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.

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.

A fire extinguishing system of an air mobility vehicle includes a refrigerant flow line in which a refrigerant flows, and including a compressor, a condenser, a first expansion valve, and an evaporator, a fire extinguishing liquid flow line connected to the refrigerant flow line via a connection valve, and configured to spray a mixed liquid of a fire extinguishing liquid and the refrigerant, a mixing part connected to the fire extinguishing liquid flow line, and configured to mix the refrigerant and the fire extinguishing liquid, and a fire extinguishing liquid storage part configured to store the fire extinguishing liquid and to discharge the fire extinguishing liquid into a mixing space of the mixing part.

A fire suppression system for an enclosed space, such as within a lavatory of a vehicle, includes a first inner gate, a second inner gate coupled to the first inner gate to define one or more air channels therethrough, and a temperature-responsive device coupled to one or both of the first inner gate or the second inner gate. The temperature-responsive device is configured to be in a first state below a predetermined temperature threshold, and a second state above the predetermined temperature threshold. In the second state, the second inner gate is moved relative to the first inner gate to close the one or more air channels.
