    摘要: A sight-viewing structure for an engine nacelle, including a sight glass that is translucent or semi-translucent, a mounting frame, and a flame shield. The sight glass allows checking of oil levels of an aircraft engine accessory gearbox within the nacelle without doors and springs that can be more susceptible to fail fire testing. The mounting frame has an outer side, an inner side opposite the outer side, and a frame opening formed through the mounting frame. The frame opening is covered by the sight glass, and the mounting frame is configured for attachment to an inner surface of the engine nacelle at a location with a hole through the engine nacelle, such that the sight glass can be viewed through the hole. A flame shield may be made of composite materials and covers the inner side of the mounting frame and peripheral edge regions of the sight glass.

    摘要: A helipad fire suppression system includes a helipad having an outer boundary that defines an impervious deck area for at least one of landing or storing one or more helicopters, with at least a portion of the impervious deck area being designated a fire suppression target area. The system includes a nozzle assembly having a spray-type nozzle for spraying a fire suppression fluid in a radial pattern. The nozzle assembly can include a nozzle enclosure for enclosing the spray-type nozzle and can be configured for installation in a surface made of an impervious material. The nozzle assembly is disposed in an interior portion of the impervious deck area so as to provide the fire suppression fluid to the fire suppression target area.
