  • Fire extinguishing system and method therefor
    Patent number: 10940346
    Abstract: A fire extinguishing system including a fluid storage container configured to store a fire extinguishing agent, and a fluid stream separating device coupled to the fluid storage container, where the fire extinguishing agent passes from the fluid storage container through the fluid stream separating device so that the fluid stream separating device raises a temperature of at least a portion of the fire extinguishing agent flowing through the fluid stream separating device above a boiling point of the fire extinguishing agent at ambient environmental conditions of a discharge location of the fluid stream separating device.

  • Methods and apparatus for supporting engines and nacelles relative to aircraft wings
    Patent number: 9211955
    Abstract: Methods and apparatus for supporting engines and nacelles relative to aircraft wings are disclosed. An example apparatus includes a first support structure to be coupled to a wing, a second support structure to be coupled to the wing and a nacelle. The support structures are coupled to opposite sides of the nacelle. The support structures are to be coupled to opposite sides of an engine to enable thrust loads to be reacted through the support structures to the wing.
