Abstract: A thermal barrier that allows a crew member or passenger to cover an item that is on fire inside an airplane (or other transport vehicle) cabin and carry it to a controlled area, such as a lavatory, where it can burn out, and the gaseous products of combustion (vapors) are exited outside of the aircraft (or other transport vehicle), providing time for the pilot/engineer/operator to make a safe decision concerning continuance of the flight or passage. If not put into a controlled area, item fire may produce poisonous and/or irritating gases that if not removed will recirculate throughout the entire cabin harming all the occupants. Burning item may cause structural damage to the aircraft (or other transport vehicle) creating an unsafe flight or passage.

Abstract: An unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) having a design for optimum stowability and low cost. The UAV having a collapsible wing section which can be easily removed from the fuselage, allowing for quick assembly and disassembly and ease of portability. The unmanned aerial vehicle includes a primary wing assembly, a fuselage, a means for propelling the unmanned aerial vehicle, and means for remotely controlling the unmanned aerial vehicle. The primary wing assembly includes a wing having a center spar and two outwardly diverging side spars. The wing also has a pliable flexible material supported by the center spar and the at least two outwardly diverging side spars. The pylon is connected to the wing and supports the wing. The fuselage is connected to the pylon such that the pylon extends away from the fuselage and spaces the wing a distance from the fuselage. The fuselage includes a tail having a rudder located along a trailing edge and elevators located along the trailing edge.
