  • Patent number: 11686056
    Abstract: A landing pad including at least one integrally formed elongated hollow decking unit having an elongated landing plate with a plurality of holes, an elongated base plate aligned longitudinally with respect to the elongated landing plate which is designed as an orifice plate and spaced a distance apart from the elongated landing plate, and two elongated side wall plates connecting the elongated landing plate to the elongated base plate. The plurality of holes may be configured to drain unburned fuel spilled on the elongated landing plate through the plurality of holes into the elongated hollow decking unit and to suppress flame of burning fuel from propagating through the plurality of holes into the elongated hollow decking unit by reducing the temperature of drained unburned fuel. The distance apart between the elongated landing plate and the elongated base plate may be configured to prevent re-ignition of the drained unburned fuel on the elongated base plate inside the elongated hollow decking unit.

  • Patent number: 8499847
    Abstract: A landing pad with an inbuilt fire suppressor that includes at least one first interlocking unit. The interlocking unit includes a landing surface, wherein the landing surface includes openings distributed thereon; and at least one interlocking mechanism located along its periphery. The interlocking mechanism is adapted to interconnect with a corresponding interlocking mechanism from another interlocking unit. A hollow chamber is located beneath the landing surface such that the hollow chamber is in fluid communication with the openings. A heat conductive layer is arranged to span across the hollow chamber thereby subdividing the hollow chamber into an upper section and a lower section. The upper section is in fluid communication with the openings. The heat conductive layer is adapted to dissipate heat from a localized point thereon to over the entire heat conductive layer.
