AIRCRAFT WITH A PROTECTIVE SHIELD AGAINST AN ENGINE BLADE RELEASE

摘要

The invention provides an internal shield (31) inside the rear fuselage (11) of an aircraft having a propulsion system formed by two engines (13) mounted on each side of it. The internal shield (31) is located in a suitable place inside the rear fuselage (11) for covering the possible trajectories of fragments detached from one of said engines (13) in a failure event that would impact critical elements of the opposite engine. The internal shield (31) comprises an ensemble of fluid containers belonging to aircraft sub-systems, such us particularly the potable water and waste water sub-systems, with enough fluid for providing the energy absorption capability required for stopping said fragments. The invention also refers to an aircraft having said internal shield (31).
